Now I own an 09 370Z + Sprt Pkg with 332HP. The 370 is a much better car than my old 350. It's got more grip, more power, and handles much better, so it makes it hard to compare. I can't tell for sure if I'm really feeling the LSD working or if its because the car has a lot more grip and more power. I'm sure it would be more noticeable on a track. I'll be doing AutoX this year so I'll let you know then  |
Actually, I have the slowest of all 350Z's. An 06 that weighs about 150lbs more than the 03-05 but with the 5AT which means it came with the older DE engine at 287 HP instead of the 300 hp rev-up for the manual that year. I do have the LSD on mine and you simply cannot break the backend loose on that car. I can definately feel it working on hard slide cornering. From what I've read, they do tend to freeze up after 40 to 50 thousand miles but when they fail, the exactly mimic a normal non-LSD differential.
