LSDs definitely help with drive-wheel traction management. That is precisely what they are designed to do. The reason why car fish tail under hard accel is because one side bites the road surface harder than the other slipping side. The result is an unbalance torque vector that generates a yawing moment, which pushes the car toward to slipping side. Of course, there are many difference LSD designs and some invariably are better than others. Stinger's clutch pack is pretty basic and far from the most sophisticated. Being mechanical, it will slip before the clutch pack can react and limit the amount of slip. That is just the nature of the beast.LSD (Limited Slip Differential) will not help the sliding to one side under heavy acceleration. If anything, it makes it worse. I have a RWD LSD (Limited Slip Differential) and my car slides out to the right when I floor it. alignment is all within parameters and the car tracks beautifully as long as you're not flooring it. It's been doing it since new.
That said, even the best LSD with lightening fast electronic slip detection and predictive algorithm has limits. Given enough torque, they will still slip and slide.
