The only LSD that i've heard of was back in the 60s & 70s lol, but we need more info to answer the Q. Do you have a 6sp. or Auto, any mods?

If you have an M6, you need to be careful with it, EVEN on street tires, or you'll have Rice Krispies in do time, but if its an Automatic, they will hold up alot longer.

The Vette's are setup completely different (IRS), and do have weak areas too..The 7.5" 10 bolts were all around weak due to 26 to 28 spline axles, and the carriers. The vette's generally have problems with the case itself...
