Re: lsd

Limited Slip Differential. Basically it helps put power to both wheels (instead of just 1). If one wheel is slipping (say on ice or water), it will put all the power to the wheel that has more traction available. It helps you get grip when you launch the car, and grip the road better when when you turn a corner. That's basically it, but there are all different types of LSD's and they will work differently from each other (basically doing the same thing).
