Ok. Everyone seems to be confused about the different LSDs. Here is a VERY quick LSD 101. Viscous is speed sensing. Torsen is torque sensing. Hence the compound word Tor-sen. Torsen like stated above is the more desirable unit out of the two. Reason being that viscous won't do anything until the wheel actually slips and creates a difference in the speed of the wheels - hence the term "speed sensing". Torsen because it is once again a torque sensing unit, it is able to transfer power before the slippage actually occurs. Torsen unit is designed to last the life of the car. VLSD that comes in the 370 is an ok unit for a street driver but for track purposes will not be sufficient. Then we can talk about 1, 1.5, 2 way units but that's for later. Hope this helps atleast a litto bit.
