I'll keep that in mind in the future. I played with everything, including the VDC, in a parking lot here. The VDC actually works pretty darn well. It really prevents you from sliding. I can post a video of the difference later if anyone is interested.

However, I still feel pretty strongly that the ABSL is crap compared to real LSD. One of the things I noticed when playing around was that the ABSL didn't want to dis-engage until the vehicle came to a complete stop - even after both tires were full spinning.
