Default supra 3.76LSD driveability?

okay i've dived into the deep end and bought a used 3.76lsd for the gs and i'm waiting for it to arrive.

i've searched and there are a gazillion posts about 1/4mi times, fuel economy, rpms, etc... but i can't find much on driveability.

what is it like when driving? with or without the vsc on? especially bad weather?

I just got mines put on, and i only have very good things to say about it. For one the 3.76 lsd is so responsive and eagger to take off, yet still silky smooth like a lexus should be. Step on it, and it will push you back on your set HARD. Reliability should be no problem because it is a toyota product, that is if you are getting the 3.76 toyota complete torsen lsd. Now fuel consumption is like 16city 21highway now i'm just making my own report cause your rpm will be alittle higher (at 80mph you are at 3000rpm) then normal which is not a problem. This is the best mod that i have done, and it would be my first if i knew it was goin to be this good. No worries bro go for it.
