LSD, a must on a CLS63?
I've been looking around for a CLS63 to replace my CL63. I found one that has the PP and all the other options except the LSD. How important is the LSD on this car given its power. I was kind of disappointed with the tendency of my CL to spin its right rear tire as it doesn't have a LSD. I'm not racing this car and I don't see myself installing an aftermarket LSD should I purchase this car. Any thoughts or comments appreciated.

coming from a new super car driver:![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
I was convinced by others here to order my car with it.....
it's only 2K more, and in the grand scheme of things will be better
for driving, as well as possible resale value perhaps too eh?
not that you'll sell........but you never know.....
I'd go for it......
sure some more guys will input more info than me....
have any pix of the Aston to share?

i guess it depends on how u drive
if u stomp nonstop then yes
if u dont then no
yeah u get some spin, but theres enuf other electrics keeping it in control

Over 500 ft/lbs to one wheel -- that's the scenario that convinced me to add the LSD to the vehicle order. It's worth the wait if you can't find one with it right away.

I think that having the option to go aftermarket on one eliminates the lack of a factory LSD as a disqualifying factor. If you end up thinking "what have I done," then you can toss it on. If not, no worries.
