What's people's opinions on an lsd for track and road driving?
My standard sierra is great, no twitchiness just lots if drive.
I love mine - it took a few weeks of driving to adjust, but I find it very predictable now (Quaife diff in an English axle). You need to be on your toes, as without a lsd, you almost get a bit of traction control as it will tend to spin up the inside wheel, whereas with a lsd, you just go sideways!
Having fitted a Quiafe unit to my live-axle Striker many years ago I wouldn't be without one now
Its not at all twitchy and with no sudden loss of grip to a spinning wheel I would say its less twitchy than without!
My new car will have one from day one this time
Anyone else with a lsd notice a bit of lift of oversteer at high revs?

On several track days I have gone around a bend to find a car sideways across the track and going nowhere fast, in both the dry and wet conditions.....this is the closest I have got to lifting off at high revs on a bend and its always behaved perfectly.

BEC or CEC?
Noticed it in a MK indy with a R1 eng I drove on the road,slight bend and was accelerating at high revs when a car I was about to overtake decided to overtake the car in front without checking his mirror.
I backed straight off the accelerator and thats when I felt the rear end trying to take control!
Loved mine, but as some have said, in some cases you get less grip, rather than more... Makes the car more predictable though, and much much more fun!
