I'm finding some amazing deals on used 17-18's with low mileage, and almost 20% off for a new 19, all AT.

Tough deciding between that and manual RWD w/o LSD. Daily driver (mostly, have older vert 330 I'll drive some too).

So many mixed reviews on LSD or no.
If "best" means performance numbers, then yes, the RWD 8at with the LSD is the way to go. If you drive hard (regardless of trans), you MUST have an LSD. The difference in traction and dynamics is staggering. I was a LSD doubter years ago. Then I installed it and was shocked at how much better the car feels and how it puts down the power. I thought it would only help in the turns. I was wrong. I used to have issues with the MPSS tires putting the power down in 1st and some of 2nd in my 6mt. With the LSD, lack of traction is largely a non-issue. I can launch far harder from a stop.
