GS400 with 3.92 or 4.27?

Other than traction (power sent to both wheels all the time), the biggest advantage to me is with a open diff it sends power to the wheel with the LEAST traction, aka, the wheel that turns the fastest, so when you corner, the outside wheel is turning faster, it gets the bulk of the power, so your car, having the outside tire with the bulk of the power, and the wheel having to turn faster anyway because it isn't on the inside, you don't come out of the corners fast. But a LSD puts the power to the wheel with the MOST traction, aka, the slower turning wheel, and in a corner, you can come out of the corner much faster.
Drive both with the same gear (any kind of car), it is noticeable how much easier and faster you come out of corners. Even my 94 Fleetwood going from open 3.42's to LSD 3.08's was noticeable coming out of the corners.
So on the Supra TT rear, the auto came with LSD and the M6 didn't?
