I wonder if that's more for racing than street driving.

My 4x4 truck didn't come with a LSD in the front (just a locker in the back). I went to the GM guys and asked if it was possible to buy one. They said it's bad news to have a locker in the front (if you lock the front axle up, you can't steer). He said that older trucks had it, but manufacturers stopped making it for the safety aspect. I guess you can buy them for non-indepedant front suspension trucks (off road only).

That's why the 6-speed has a gear type diff. You still get both wheels to the ground, and they can spin at different rates (to a reasonable limit -- unlike the open diff which can be 0 RPM on one side, infinity on the other).

So what I'm getting at is you probably don't want a locker in the front of a FWD car. I might be wrong, but it is something you might want to check into before diving in. :P
