When the car is being pushed to the limits, the VSC ECU can think the inside rear wheel is spinning under certain conditions, and applies brakes to assist the Torsen.

Imagine having brakes suddenly being applied to one corner of the car at 125+. I've experienced it, and can replicate it at will. Pedal dancing eliminates this behavior. So does a mechanical LSD (like Cusco or OS Giken).

Normally, it's pretty seamless, particularly at lower speeds. When it happens at triple digit speeds... code brown may result. I've seen some cars fly off at T8 of WSIR (very bumpy 120+ corner) because of the E-diff function. The corner itself is only about 0.65G lateral, but the bumps can let a wheel spin, and then it gets scary.
