I personally don't think an LSD will make a big difference in normal street driving (including full throttle), based on a measurement of how quickly a car gets from here to way over there. The electronic nannies built into the system are pretty damned effective on the street. Unless things go seriously out of whack very quickly indeed (such as hitting a patch of ice under full throttle), Plan B (meaning killing engine power) will not be invoked, and individual wheel braking is pretty efficient.

Unless you're a complete nutball (anyone? anyone?), whacking it to WOT while rounding a corner is not a normal street move. I must admit it's a great nutball move, though.
