Until your VLSD wears out and becomes an open diff anyway... It's definitely not an end all be all performance upgrade in this car. Sure it's a lot better (before it stops working better) but it's not even close to a "real" diff.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with an open differential, the engine's power follows the path of least resistance, so when one wheel has less traction than the other wheel, the engine's power will go to the wheel with the least traction. Hence, the one wheel wonder comment.

Actually you can't change the viscous fluid from what I understand, it's separate from the diff fluid.

the VLSD won't wear out for 60-70k miles a real sports car should indeed have one. this isn't a one tire fire that open diff you have is night and day vs the stock vlsd. and i know this because i also have a base, and the open diff is poop
