In regards to the vlsd, what driving characteristics should one look for when determining that the limits of the dif have been exceeded?

Oh, and I hope he does well. I'd like to reach out to him after to get his impressions and learn more about his build.


Agree with Gomer — you’ll want the LSD. It’s prob top 5 on my list of ST mods (wheels/tires, coilovers, a-arm, lsd, power mod). Basically you’ll spin the inside wheel on every corner exit. The car won’t rotate on throttle application (which adds to understeer, but saves you from spinning out). The VLSD doesn’t allow the power to be put down. If you’re driving the car hard in BS, you’re already being held back. A friend of mine drove my Z once and thought my clutch was slipping, but it was just the inside tire smoking LOL.
