    LSD availability ??

    Does anyone know if a limited slip differential will be standard or available optionally in the RT? Or will it be, to quote my classic GTO enthusiast friend, "a single wheeler peeler"? Thanks.

    In learning a little bit more about the electronic traction control and stability control systems, it would seem that the open or non-LSD differential would be critical in allowing those systems to work properly. Just my opinion.

    Traction control seems like an electronic limited-slip.
    Hopefully the Magnum RT can lay 2 strips of rubber.

    That drifting video with the stability control disabled shows 2 wheels smoking away. I'm sure there is a mechanical limited slip in the axle as well as traction control. It's not like it's a locker or something, the electronics can work around it and with it.

    With electronic stability control do you still need a LSD?

    Some pics I've seen SHOW the LX cars burning BOTH tires. Doesn't that imply a Limited Slip Differential? I think so.
