Folks-

I am looking at a used 997 Turbo which does not have this option. I know the car is AWD, but in all of the turbos I have owned I have had this option for the RWD (LSD) or AWD 911 turbos.

I am buying this car (potentially) for my wife, who will not be racing very often.

Thanks in advance for any advice. - Gerry

Not as important as the condition of the car. If the tt is a good buy, that overwhelms whether the car has LSD especially with front wheel drive taking up any major slippage. Your wife will never feel its absence unless you tell her otherwise.

 

I wouldn't worry about it, as above condition is most important.

 

I've heard numerous reports that it assists us drivers who are driving in snow and ice road conditions. I find it a welcome option in our Canadian winters. Or maybe it's just a good option for us drivers who are skilled-challenged on any roads that aren't dry, straight, and without traffic.

 

I'm debating this very point. But the car is for me and its likely to get a little track time. I'm not a great driver and I've never driven a 911 on a track before, so i'm not likely to push the car to its limits, at least for a while.

If the option is very valuable to track driving (it sure seems like it might be, AWD or not), can it be put into a car that doesn't have it?

 

Well keep in mind that a good Guard LSD will cost you $2800 plus install at a later date if you opt to have one put in.

 

Thats alot ($2800), but it could be worse. Is a Guard LSD something that the dealer would install or would I have to go hunting around for a tuner shop?

In this case i am looking at a trio of used 997tts, not ordering a new one. I'd 110% certainly order it on a new one.

 

I think you can get Qualife LSD for 1500...I buying car without LSD as well and will put Qualife I think...unless someone will tell ME otherwise...

 

you can youse porsche original or alternativly drexler.

Agree it's very important !!! We all need it

 

Porsche original can be installed only with gearbox I think...my car is in US so it more easy to get Qualife or Guards LSD
