I'm not sure on this....I've only driven the F090/s and the F094/s. But, I had this problem on both of them. My guess is that these two are 10 cylinder cars, where the others are 8 and 6 cylinder. So, there are more cylinders slowing the rears down on these, and I'd assume that this makes the difference.
Poking at the throttle would help, I guess, but you wouldn't get the same braking power.
LSD won't really help. Here's how lsd works...(btw...drugs are bad
) We're concerned with decel here, but it works the same for accel.
When you downshift, you have 100% of the engine power decelerating the rear tires.
The LSD checks the traction on each tire, and splits up the power, say....60% to the left, 40% to the right (figure out which way we're turning?
).
But....you still have 100% going to the rear tires total.
If that 100% is enough to break traction, it will.
However, if only 1 tire is breaking traction, then increasing the LSD will help, as it will even out the power. But still...if the braking power is too high, you'll lose traction, except now with both tires. (This is why LSD is good for drifting....you EVENLY slip the tires. But remember....drugs are bad.)
