Say what?

They're all Hydrolic transaxles. The one with a limited slip differential is the "better" one.

"limited slip"... it speaks for itself, it doesn't slip as much, better traction, so you can put more power down to the wheels w/o burning so much rubber!

both front wheels are locked together to force even power to the wheels. normally you have an open differential, which makes it easier to drive for the average american motorist. so when your burning out, only one front wheel is usually spinning.

LSD would mean both tires were spinning equally.

Yup... unless you're not trying to lose traction, say when leaving the line at a drag strip. Then, as they said, it puts down power to both wheels, giving you both front traction patches to accelerate, leading to better starts at the light, strip, freeway ramp, etc.
