Im sure it does but cant find it anywhere on any of the honda press releases

 

Yes it does

 

Wish it didn't sometimes.

 

I think the LSD is pretty much a standard feature !

thought it did!

 

Sort of. It has a Torsen or Torque Sensing diff. It does not limit the amount slip on the spinning wheel but transfers more of the torque to the wheel with traction. I hope that makes sense.

check out http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential10.htm here is the important bit.

"However, if one wheel loses traction completely, the Torsen differential will be unable to supply any torque to the other wheel. The bias ratio determines how much torque can be transferred, and five times zero is zero. "

So if you have one wheel on ice and the other on tarmac the car might go nowhere fast, unlike a proper LSD

Simalar to LSD on FWD cars? like the integra Type R

 

that page on howstuffworks was referring to a torsen diff being used between front and rear sets of wheel on an all wheel drive car though...

in my experience if one wheel loses traction on the s, the power goes to the other one and things get interesting...

 

True, but the bit about ice/snow is also correct.

 

Ditto.

To test all you have to do is approach a 90 degree corner at low speed, plant the throttle. The line you were going to take tightens a lot as the diff pushes power to the loaded inside wheel with more grip and shafts you round the corner.
