I used to tell people that my 86 Plymouth Reliant had traction control. It did too! 86 hp wasn't enough to break the tires free in the rain.
140hp doesn't seem like alot, but you can break the rear end out when accelerating if you really really wanted to. I drive much more conservatively on the street than I do on the course so its not an issue on my daily drive to and from work. I can break it out if I really wanted too, and sometimes it occasionally (and unexpectedly) gets loose, but it isn't an issue.
However, on the autocross, it is a completely different story. The rear end is constantly flying out and traction can sometimes be limited. In a car with such little power, and in a motorsport where keeping your momentum is the key to winning, making sure you're putting most of its available power to the ground is essential. The LSD really does help.
Acaeton...is that the '06 RX-7? I'm sorry, but if you don't think that car is hawt (and going to liberally whip domestic sports-car ass) you're insane.
No, thats just an FD RX-7 (93-95). What gave you the impression that I didn't like the car? I think it looks absolutely fantastic.
