Front LSD

Quick question, is there one available for the Speed6?

I tried searching but nothing came up, only stuff came up for the regular FWD 6
 
Because the front of the car is equipped with an open differential. Its most beneficial to have a LSD in the rear but if you track the car the front would be very useful as well.
 
Actually, it would not be beneficial. In the MS6 AWD system, a front LSD would actually cause increased understeer and more overall driveline drag/loss. In the MS6, a front tire "can't" slip as ANY F/R speed differential locks the front and rear together. In a hard corner exit under acceleration, the inside front would normally tend to spin, but for that to happen the front differential itself must speed up as the power is "lost" to the spinning tire. In the MS6, the front differential is NOT allowed to turn any faster than the rear differential due to the coupling unit locking them together under MOST conditions anyway. The open front differential actually helps reduce understeer as the tire ARE allowed to rotate at slightly different speeds at light throttle to accomodate turn-in, but the overall differential speed remains the same as the rear. Get it?
