and a Viscous LSD is the best option when it comes to limited slip differentials. A VLSD also lasts longer than most other types as long as the fluid is changed regularly.

It is also the lease effective of LSD designs, and wears out rather quickly.

best LSD's IMO is clutch/mechanical type, those can be rebuilt, and basically last longer than most people own their car, I've owned all for the same car, open diff, vlsd and clutch type lsd, and no question the clutch type has the best engagement.

but get the car on a lift, so you can spin the rear wheels, have on person spin forward, and have another spin the other one rearwards, if it is difficult, then you have vlsd, compare it to another car that you know that has open diff and do the same thing, it should spin freely
doing donuts doesn't really tell if you have vlsd
or somehow drive to a place where one of the rear wheels is off the ground, a vlsd should kick in towards the other wheel thats on the ground, open diff will just spin the wheel thats off the ground, logically that sounds correct, but i've never actually tried this method, lol
