handling and lSD

Since the mags have been ragging on the TT for its handling, does anyone know if the cars they tested had the LSD? I assume this would make a difference in putting down the power.

weird because Autocar here in the uk had the turbo as their third best handling car in their best handling car awards..only the cayman and lotus exige beat it.
I read quite a few american car magazines and have to say generally not impressed with their writing or findings..whilst the turbo is not the sort of car I would have to use to have fun on the track..it performs incredibly well ...GT porsche had one which they lapped at exactlyt the same time as a GT3 ..and the turbo was on standard rubber and the gt3 on cup tyres..now bearing in mind that the gt3 is an outright track car surely if a car handled so poorly such times would not be possible ?

My car has the LSD, performed flawlessly at Pocono 3.2mile track recently. My only limiting factor were the street tires and street alignment. I held my own in the twisties and dominated on the straights(red group), if I were to level the playing field with some cups and an aggressive alignment nobody would touch me.

I think the LSD would make it groovy, man.
