Brent - good point - I am sure that can happen, indeed has happened to myself. The point though, is that a locking or limited slip rear end will always do that, whatever the circumstances. Especially in a corner, whereas an open diff will always allow the unloaded "inner "wheel to spin, but usually not the outer one.

When my UK buddies and I have some fun on a track, it is always the cars with LSD rears that get away from them quicker even on straight "drag" starts. My car will usually get the power down and yet stay in a reasonably straight line. In fact I have been quite surprised by how straight it runs under full throttle in the lower gears, and I ascribe much of this to the open diff.
And as we all know, few of us have the skills necessary to bring a cobra back from a serious sideways moment. The car is just not forgiving.

Any other suspension gurus care to comment? I am here to learn.
