Errr.....No......you are wrong
It really depends on how you read it.
If you read the letters "L-S-D" then he is right.
If you read it as "limited slip differential" then he is wrong.
...I for one read it as "L-S-D"

It is a fun mod, but for reasons I'm sure you fully understand, it's the kind of mod that could easily get an S2000 owner/driver into trouble. The thing I like about it is that it is both easier to get the car to push a little on corner exit, and at the same time easier to get the tail out. Crank the steering wheel to full lock, start off normally, and just a little throttle initiates a spin. Great fun, but I hate to think how many crash reports we'd be seeing if the cars came that way.Every time I see those heavily reinforced differentials, I drool.
Once you get the hang of it and understand the characteristics of the car with a clutch type LSD is when the fun starts.
I know that you have a great amount of seat time in both the Miata and S2000, with my little experience I find the car to be more easy to handle (1.5 LSD equipped) now that you can throttle drive it.
They still make me

You know this car O, so well.... 
I have the OEM rear wing and a front splitter that I designed for better front down force. The car feels much better at speed now.
I am just getting back from doing a PM Stage 2 diff install on a friends S2000 in Orlando. The rear is equipped with a Cusco RS 1.5 LSD.
He is a very competent and fast driver and placed third in his class this year.
I explained to him he is now going to have to relearn the car all over. He also has the Mugen front splitter and rear wing to help keep the car more stable at speed.
I went for a ride with him just to go over on what to expect, and to instill to take it easy till he had a little seat time with it. I wish I could do this for everyone that opts for a clutch type LSD.

As far as my knowing the car well, all I can say is that I'm still learning.
