First i would like to say this is a great forum and i have enjoyed and learned from a lot of the threads posted here (even though i may not post a response to them)

k now off to the questions lol. i tried searching but couldnt find a clear cut answer for my question

first does the 996 c2 (2002+ if it matter) come with a real LSD system? meaning not lsd simulated by brakes

second does it come with a getrag transmission for the 6 speed tranny?



sorry if these questions are newbie but i gotta learn somehow

Thanks

 

The option for 996 is PSM (Porsche Stability Management) and is computerized anti-skid technology.

 

I believe the LSD was an option on C2 cars. Don't know about the gearbox - maybe its an Aisin?

 

so it's basically like the same system that the bmw 135i uses? the brakes simulate a LSD. i thought they would have real LSDs since everyone would say that if a cayman had an LSD it would outhandle the 996, so i guess the cayman isnt the only one without LSD in the porsche lineup

 

was it all 996 c2's or only the prefacelift or facelifted?

 

the non egas models optioned lsd

 

so redridge based on what i read on other threads about egas models the only models that optioned LSD were the 99 models? (other thread said they are the only non e-gas)


i appreciate you guys helping me out

 

yes 99 c2 are non egas... pm chads996, he has a 99 with lsd and can provide some answers to your question.

I went to the Speed Gallery (mostly porsche tuner) a couple days ago one of the people working on a boxster project told me that all 996's came with lsd as an option

 

Standard on the 2004 40th anniversery and optional on all others.

 

while purchasing one how can i make sure it has lsd?
