The other night, I tried a WOT pull for the first time with VDC off.

In the middle of the 3rd gear pull the car violently and suddenly spun to the right and then to the left before I made it come to a halt. It scared the **** out of me!

Anyone else experience this before?
Interesting.
I'm supercharged with 450whp and 364ft/lbs which comes on a lot earlier with the Si impeller upgrade I recently had done. I have the Cusco 1.5RS LSD which uses a clutch plate system rather than helical gears like the Quaife LSD has.
When the same situation has happened to me with VDC off and I've applied to much power in a straight line and I break traction, typically the back end of the car kicks out to the left and occasionally to the right. As soon as this happens I back right off the throttle and the rear of the car instantly kicks back to being straight again. The rear has never gone from left to right or visa versa and approaching a complete spin out.
I wonder if the Cusco clutch type as opposed to a helical gear type LSD assists with this?
Maybe I lifted off quicker...
