The ones with can pirouette 360° around a cone beautifully with both wheels spinning, the ones without spin up the inside wheel and then just plough wide. On the occasions they do manage to initiate oversteer with trailing throttle, they never manage to sustain it, it looks more like a FWD doing a handbrake turn.
Probably more relevant at carpark than trackday/road speeds though - my first MX5 had a tired viscous LSD which would let an inside wheel spin at times in tight low-speed corners, but it would still hold slides very well on trackdays etc where its not about power oversteer donuts.

Not saying it wouldn't have been more fun all round with a better LSD, but there was certainly nothing Fwd about the way it drove. hehe

When was the last time you changed your viscous coupling fluid? Fluids break down over time.
