Default 04 s2000 has traction control?

Limited Slip Differential was listed on the invoice sheet.

Say it ain't so. Xviper tell me I'm wrong!

All S2000's have an LSD, and it's not exactly traction control.

Didn't all the Ss have LSDs? A limited slip differential isn't traction control by the sense of a computer taking over. It's more for performance and keeping the rear wheels spinning the same speed isn't it?

Traction control isn't the same as limited slip differential and it is on the 00 - 03 S2000.

Most cars have an open differential. This means it transfers all of the torque to the slipping wheel.
Ex. You've got one wheel on ice, with an open diff, you'd be stuck.

A limited slip "limits" the amount of torque transferred to the slipping wheel, so you always have some torque applied to the gripping wheel.
Ex. With a limited slip, the wheel on the ice would be slipping, but you'd still be moving forward since some of the torque is still tranferred to the gripping wheel.

LSD + Loose surface roads = Serious fun (but you better be quick with the steering).
