is the car ex-police?

LSD's on Omegas are very rare, only ones which had them are 3.0/3.2 ex-plods and generally the manuals too.

With a normal diff when one wheel spins, all the power goes to that wheel and the wheel which isnt spinning has no power.With an lsd the opposite happens,the power is transferred to the wheel which isnt spinning.Works on clutches inside the diff,I think. :y
