Ovekam advised me of the ADB, and I usually drive in this mode most of the time now. Except when I activate the speed limiter or cruise control (the computer switches off the ADB mode here).
The ADB reaction is not as quick as a real LSD with clutches. I've found the car will hop momentarily between left and right wheels breaking free from the road before the car actually slides. I used to own a Ford Escort RS Turbo, specifically the Series 1. The LSD in the RS Turbo feels the same as what the ADB does.
The car is very easy to control when it is drifting. However, as there is a bit of turbo lag, I've not yet tried to feather or tap the throttle repeatedly to maintain the drift. I'm concerned that if I let my foot off, the combination of fly-by-wire lag and turbo lag will cause the car to not be able to produce the required power to keep the wheels spinning when quickly hitting the throttle in an off - on - off - on kind of way. It would be nice to have sport mode mapping to the throttle here.
Since I have the ZF 8 speed, I have shifted from 2nd to 3rd whilst drifting (manual mode). RPM was climbing to just over 4k, but the shift seems to be not quick enough to transfer the power through the wheels and so changing gear causes the car to straighten up and accelerate. I don't know if there is any other computer related factors causing this, though. It may also be that the car doesn't produce enough power to do this. I've not tried this in the wet, though.
