Absolutely...powering out of corners...IMO the #1 reason to have an LSD.

I don't know if this is a 'real world example' but it was certainly enough for me to opt for the LSD.

i consider it a real world example, little things such as this will make me consider getting PP, as well as the added HP. I am not a gear head but 33 more HP (not sure exactly how much horse power is added) seems like a good increase on top of everything else you are getting in the package. does the PP add more torque also? i tried to google performance package specs but came up short.

There's no hp increase or torque increase with the regular PP. you're thinking about the PP plus which isn't out yet..
