Default Does the S2K have a Limited Slip Differential?
I assume they were at least available as an option. Were they, or were they standard? If an option, how can I tell if a car has one? Do they work well? Are they the Torsen diff that's very popular with Miata enthusiasts?

So a torsen is not a form of LSD????

I just learned something new. All my life I thought that TorSen stood for Torque Sensing Limited Slip Differential.

Interesting, I was looking on this board about that whole Mazda differential being on our car...and I found a few posts about it not being a true LSD. So I guess its an LSD after all...?
