It is very frustrating that we have no feedback or review for an M performance LSD on the M235
There is the recently posted Chris Harris video on how to drift. He talks about how much throttle you really have to give the car in order to induce oversteer. That should give you a glimpse into how well the LSD performs since he says he's pretty much mashing the throttle in order to get the tail to pull out (6500-7000 RPM).

Didn't they end up welding the diffs to pull this off?

No excuse whatsoever for this car to not have an LSD. $27k cars them. Hell, this years VW Golf GTI has one in the front. WTF

Civic Si has had an LSD since 2002. There is no excuse for not providing LSD as an option and its plain mean spirited of them to weld the diff instead of bolting like they used to.

Dude it is epic. Unexpected attention. Everywhere you go. It's like everyone knows about this car. Everyone's read these articles. This video with the drift mob is really icing on the cake. The red is the best color ever. You will love it. You will find yourself with a kid's grin. I think I've mastered the eco-comfort-sport-sport plus scenarios. I'm now just getting into the paddle shifters in sport mode. I am working my way up to the launch control…! I will hit that in a couple of weeks. I'm having fun but now the fun is really just getting started… good luck with your performance Center delivery. You will have a blast.

I can understand what you're saying. Let me quote Rush Limbaugh but a apply his famous statement to this car.

[This car] has talent on loan from God!

I've been in similar traffic. Drives me nuts when people can't figure out which way they want to go.

they said that the m perf lsd wasnt good enough and they had to mod it to their liking...i would think they need something locking 100% like the m3 lsd???
