In ordering my new GTS I checked the box for LSD. As a cab it's doubtful it will ever see the track, but it could arguably be considered a safety feature, and I always have thought there's something a bit more special about an LSD car. Just knowing the performance is there if you want it or need it......

IMO: if you don't track the car, the aftermarket LSD is a complete waste of money, not to mention you get increased rear tire wear. i highly doubt you'd be able to tell the difference between an LSD and non-LSD car on the street unless you push the car really really hard. also.. there is enough weight over the rear wheels (rear-engined) to be able to get decent traction to begin with on the street

Have you considered a Volvo? Seriously, If you want it add it to the list. It doesn't cost that much as a factory option while it can be pricey to add after delivery and may give you a larger market at resale time.
Enjoy the car.

I agree, it is fairly inexpensive to order it from factory, so that's what i've done.

if you're derping around in the super cold/snowy conditions with high summer performance tires, then no LSD or traction control will save you

Yep. Sometimes, in circumstances with limited traction, an LSD can punt you. From yesterday:

also, i wasn't aware that 997.1's came with the LSD option from factory. wasn't that the RoW models only?

No way dude. I expect to be able to drive as fast as I want under all conditions, knowing that my super-fantastic-a-number-1 Porsche will bail me out.

Hey Guys....I'm new to the forum with my first Porsche ever. 08 911 C2S and I'm blessed to have this beautiful car in my garage. I've been dreaming about having a 911 for over 20 years. A few promotions and some saving....Now I GOT IT!
One questions: Do these cars come with Limited Slip or is this an option? Reason I ask is that the right rear tire seems to have a bit more wear than the one on the left.
