Curious how they behave in corners with power applied.

Thanks

there's a canyon road I take home, with many uphill, decreasing-radius corners, perfect for power-on-oversteer. I can wait to get into corner late, then apply a little throttle to point car in the right direction, with a little wheelspin. It actually makes the car handle "better" to me. I wonder how it would react with it locked up.

Fun

cheers richie,uk

it sure looks it dude 

Seconded! 

Although roundabouts (turning circles for our colonial cousins ) can be fun/tricky in the wet. Put the power too early and you do a quick 180º! 

Hey Tony, yeah Russ (?) is still there, more V8 stuff than VW I think

To some power oversteer looks impressive but as you know it's not the quickest way around a corner.
It may handle a little better but what you might find most impressive is that with the LSD you can now throttle steer it.
Next you might consider ways to improve your suspension to better control power oversteer.
Many Hot VWs are set up for drag racing and 60 foot times, not the optimal set up for canyon carving.

Hi Bruce,
My track/street 911 LSD is set at 80/60.
The first number indicates the percentage of lock up on power and the second the percentage of lock up on decel.
Imagine the first number were 100%, on power it would act more like a spool, no diff at all.
I can't say what is right percentages for all cars but this works well in my 911 at the track.
Google LSDs for expert advice.

My experiences with spools, LSD and open diffs.

An LSD is like a rack and pinion for the rear of the car.
It’s how you steer the back of the car.
Now that Jim has an LSD/TBD? the rear of his car has power over steer.
In racing you would disconnect the sway bars and do a spring scan.
Find the correct spring rates, select spring rates so that car is more neutral on and off the throttle.
Reconnect the sway bars  and re-valve the shocks to match the new spring rates.

(with respect to Jim’s spool comment)
With a spool in medium to tight turns you really have to be aggressive to get the car to rotate.
Lift throttle,  turn the wheel, pitch the back of the car, at the proper time stop the rear rotating with the throttle and if you’ve waited a bit too long counter steer.
Many 935s ran spools, I don’t know why?
Were their wide tires and big power too much for 70s diff technology?
I had a spool in my drag bug, combined with slicks in the back and tiny front tires on acceleration you were not going to steer the car much. But it also tracked very straight on decal.
Dave Folts would say if you want to turn with the spool you will have to lift (or go neutral on the throttle).
This just transfers weight to the front and takes it off the rear, the end with the most weight on it gets the most traction.

(No TBD/LSD known as an open diff)
My other 911 has an open diff and it is fine daily on the street.
Although at the local AX when it was pinched in tighter corners it would get light on the inside rear wheel and spin it.
How frustrating not to be able to get the power down and then have to change my line through the turn to keep more weight/traction on the inside rear wheel.
When the free spinning inside wheel does grab it can do funny things to axles and CVs at the same time disrupting car balance.

Driving cars fast is all about weight transfer.
Left foot braking is another effective technique to gently control weight transfer.
FYI developing brake sensitivity in your left foot takes time.
Remember to put your left over the clutch when it's time to upshift.
