The zvlsd (viscous limited slip differential) we have I'm our sports is pretty weak. It will hook up for maybe one drag style launch but then heat up and become essentially like an open diff. (Base model has open diff)

I think this (along with suspension mods) is probably the best performance mod you can put on. 1500 bucks will almost get one installed. Diff $1100. Bearings and seals 1-200. Nismo vented diff cover $150 ish. Install $300 or so.

The difference in driving is reported to be night and day and much smoother than the clutch plate style diffs the hard core racers use. (Nismo makes one but it is rough and loud on the street)
