Can someone confirm the V8 got a LSD where V6 don't?

[muisui]

I checked the hyundai website and didn't see the difference on the compare trims... can anyone help?

Yes, only the V8 has the LSD.

Yes, only the V8 has the LSD.

Where did you find that and can you please express more?

Dumb question...what's an LSD?

I don't see it at Hyudai's USA web site but if you go to www.hyundaicanada.com and look at the specs for the Genesis you will see LSD listed under the 4.6 package. I believe the US 4.6 models has the LSD feature too just not listed.

I thought both models had the LSD but the Canada site referenced above states otherwise.

and click on the PERFORMANCE tab.

I've answered my own question!

Here is an easy way to tell.

Next time your at a stop sign or intersection....POWER BRAKE your car, if you feel the car drift left or right...you have the coveted LSD...However, if only one wheel spins really fast...you do not and you can get your car stuck on a 6" x 6" patch of black ice. HA!! The folks with LSD can only get stuck on TWO patches of ice....

That was really stupid....sorry Well, you get my point, just light up the tires and you'll figure it out rather quickly.

Or those with LSD get stuck on one big patch

Geez, and I was thinking LSD was lysergic acid diethylamide all the time. I guess it was just a flash back.

As a long-time Deadhead, I had the same initial reaction, Rob. But that's a story for another day entirely.

[Although, just in case any Dead fans are on this forum, a short spring tour was just announced. Details @ dead.net. I'll be seeing at least six of the 19 shows. Miss ya, Jerry...]

Thanks for the heads-up. Hyundai does a great job of burying this bit of info. True LSDs are increasingly rare these days. Many companies skate by with electronic traction control, sometimes enhanced to serve as an "electronic limited-slip differential" (eLSD). But not the same thing.

Also in advertising they mention it
"The V8 4.6L Tau twin-cam, 32-valve, 100% alloy engine produces a stunning 375 horsepower @ 6200 rpm with 333 lb-ft @ 3500 rpm. Coming with a ZF 6-speed SHIFTRONIC® transmission and an LSD rear wheel drive."
