Ahh I see... I'm ignorant of the difference/advantage though I'm afraid :(

Just in which direction the LSD effect is applied - In a very simplified view:
1 way purely on acceleration, 2 way both acceleration and deceleration, 1.5 mainly acceleration with limited effect on deceleration.

Does the Z not already have an LSD?

It does have a viscous diff, which when it gets hot starts to lose some of its locking ability, plus it is one way, so you have no effect on braking.

It does come up well for a 10 year old car, how old is the paint again? ;)

Some of it is less than a year old admittedly, but that said the car is still old! :p
 
Choosing my next car is going to be a difficult task indeed... :p

Whenever I see/hear a Z I want one... But getting one doesn't fit in with my flawless grand plan to be in a V8 before I'm 22... :D

Buy a soarer. They're cheap enough that even with your buying experience they're throwaway money :p
 
Thats not really what I meant, I was thinking more £6K - £7K on a bright red S4 B6 manual Saloon... :eek:

All pipe dreams unless I first get a job closer to home than London... Can't really do 120 miles a day at 28MPG. :p

I did 120 miles a day at 25MPG for 9 months and I wasn't even being paid for it!

Yeah but I see my fuel allowance as an addition to my salary. :p

Don't wanna eat into it too much! :D

Unless you're planning to do that exact job, in the same place for years, it shouldn't be that much of an issue. Worst case scenario you drive around in it for a few months, then decide you want to continue at your job and location long term, and decide to get something else. At least you'll have had a few months of fun with a nice car.

If I'd changed my car every time my commute changed, I'd probably have been through about 20 by now. :p
 
Went for a drive this morning.

Cheers! I last went there in the old E46 during sunrise and sunset. Vowed to return another day :p
 
lovely colour on that Z, freefaller, I don't think I've ever seen one in that colour before

there's an orange one, just up the road from me, that seems to be the most popular colour
