It was a LSD. Non-LSD wouldn't fish tail like that, it would have just spun one wheel. Try each type in the snow covered road and you will understand the difference. The non-LSD would just spin one wheel while the other one just stayed on the pavement, but the LSD car, as both tires spin, would slide off the road if the road had a crown on it.

That said, all 951S were equipped with LSD and a trans-cooler stock.

There are circumstances where you will spin one wheel, obviously, but there are plenty where you can leave twin marks and have the back end dancing around pretty darn well.

On the subject of transmissions, I have a cooler on my 951 but I don't think it has an LSD is that possible? and about the fish tail w/o LSD I got on mine the other night merging onto the highway from a drive way and she went side ways, so I think non-LSD cars can do the hula.

I would like to see dyno proof and listen to the system when on the track.

Wow, that sounds pretty crappy. Sounds a little ricey to me. I need to get some vids of my straight through exhaust that tapers from 3-4". Now THAT sounds mean.

yeah we need to get some good exhaust clips up. I still have my old 3inch exhaust lindsey video but, that thing is seriously out dated.
I will make some new clips when I get daves new custome exhaust on there in a few weeks
