Except during the few winter months or in the more extreme cornering situations. Is this thinking acurate regarding the functioning of the LSD?

LSD helps acelerate out of turns w/o wheelspin. But the stock MCS doesn't have enough power to create wheelspin. So you should be fine w/o LSD. At 200+ hp like paul said you should really consider it.

Car is only good as the driver.
