In most cases, for a car that is driven by an amateur, its saver for an open diff. This way the back end doesnt come out unexpectedly (to an amateur) and spin the car. Instead one of the tires just spins while the other stays on the road keeping the car in control.
IMHO an LSD would be advantageous on the track and on autox. The track for letting the driver put more power down at the limit, and autox the same way however also giving the driver more of an ability to bring the back end around on tighter corners. IMHO if it was a strictly street car that wasnt competing in any races and wanted to just do mountain runs, an open diff would be fine, unless the driver is very good at which point they would notice the difference between a LSD and open and could drive accordingly still relatively safely. |
