Yeah it's one of the new fancy electromechanical ones. Seems to do really well hauling out of the corners under power without torque steering all over the road.
A Borg-Warner e-LSD apparently.

Definitely. The Fiesta wasn't terrible but it was really noticeable on track quite how long you had to wait before getting on the power. In the Focus it was basically make the apex then foot to the floor, even with plenty of lock on.
You shouldn't have too much of a problem at 380lbft. I would comfortably put down 2nd unless it was cold or wet. That was open diff too. With a diff you should be fine, I'd have thought.
Lower speed corners and WOT really impressed me when I first got the Megane, you'd be expecting to end up in the bushes but round it goes and off it f***s up the road
It went well at CSF
Still won't get over my mate overdriving his car going "IM GETTING GAPPED BY A FAMILY CAR"🤣

As CSF is at Goodwood this year I'll be there again, so family gappings will be available on demand.

Map installed and filter fitted so with all the talk of acceleration times I thought I'd best crack out the Dragy. Still a bit damp around here to get any meaningful standing start stuff, but the in gear improvements are pretty good. Decided to not bother with 1st or 2nd gear so these figures are all from 3rd & 4th.
40-100mph has dropped from 9.7s to 8.4s
50-70mph has dropped from 2.7s to 2.2s
60-100mph has dropped from 7.4s to 6.4s
Still waiting to have the intercooler and plugs fitted so it's possible there's a bit of power loss at the end of these pulls. Will repeat once everything's on.
