Not necessarily faster than the cars listed, but it feels quick and, more importantly fun, in a straight line. Each of the other cars has its own character, but I find I enjoy driving my LSD/TC GS400 as much or more than any of them!
Now I also rode shotgun in a friend's 911 GT3, and lemme tell you, that thing is insanely fast.

We're all lying. It's not that fast. In fact, all those jackrabbit startsare getting annoying. I'm not using the Power ECT mode anymore. Thinking about the snow mode, in fact.

I don't even have the 3.76 LSD, but have the TC. Love that TC. Love those burnouts! I swear these Goodyear GS-D3's are amazing. I have worn those rear tires out, and they STILL have decent tread and great handling in the rain. Sheesh!
I have ridden in a 3.76 LSD and it IS mighty fine, great responsiveness on the freeway. I like that alot too.
I have the TC and the SRT intake, and I love the roar when I floor it on the freeway when the transmission kicks down. My passengers love it, even more so than me.
If I didn't drive my car so much for my job (like 3000 miles plus per month), I would most CERTAINLY get the 3.76 LSD. But I need the extra gas mileage when I'm cruising. So, I'll have to pass for now.
No worries though, because when I'm in 'boyracer' mode, and it's time to roll out, I just drop the transmission in 4th, and leave it there. Boy, the ol' Lex is quite responsive on the freeway then. Feels like I just got a temporary 3.76 LSD.

it "helps" when you have a supporting wife, haha
