As others have said, a spool or locked center is harder on axels, uni`s and gearboxes. On slow tight corners the inside wheel(less loaded) is trying to travel the same distance as the outside wheel. This causes the tire to kind of skip on the road causing masive backlash through the driveline.

Because the inside wheel is trying to travel the same distance as the outside during cornering, the car will generally understeer a fair bit until the steering input is opening up on corner exit.

On a race car, geting the power down early is very important and the understeer can be tuned out of the car to a point. Even cicuit cars with locked centers will never be as free into corners as a car with a limited slip.

On a road car, the first thing i would recomend is GOOD tires. Then if you still need more drive , go for a limited slip center..
Or work on the suspension.
