It does make you pull out of bends more quickly, but that's only because you're cornering at a greater speed on a tighter line with an LSD working anyway.

If you drove an S with and without an LSD on a road driving quickly, chances are you won't know which 1 has the LSD or not - like I say, with my previous car, I actually had to cain it around a roundabout, round and round and round, going quicker and quicker to actually feel the LSD kick into gear. Maybe it's also an experiance thing. People on the road will slow down before LSD works, especially those who don't fully understand it. Which is of course a good thing!
