The LSD helps eliminate torque steer also.

I think dpoll995 is asking whether the LSD is marginalized by TCS and ESC when they are engaged. I have wondered about this as well.

If one wheel slips, does the TCS brake the wheel first, preventing the LSD from functioning? Or is no slippage signal received by the TCS because the LSD locks first? If it's the first case, it seems like the LSD would mostly only be useful with TCS disabled.

Unless it is wet or icy, I turn my traction control off. It seems to pull smoother, and really, I think most of us know how to modulate the clutch and throttle well enough for dry conditions.

yea thats what i was asking. it seems like a waste if you have LSD and traction control.
