Default S2000 without LSD?

Is the S2000 only available with a LSD differential, or can you get it with an open diff. as well?

Thanks...

If anyone finds an open diff for our application I'd love to get one.

Hmm, if an open diff was available I don't think I'd want it. You're just losing traction. Launch more gently if that's your worry. You'll end up accelerating at a similar rate to an open diff but spinning your tires less. I hated the open diff on my GSR. I could spin the inside tire at will in corners.

Yes, but open diff is better than busted diff, yes?

We have an open diff on our race car, as long as you keep the inside back wheel on the ground everthing is golden. Only other consideration we made was a solid rear axel. This would make tight corners fun!
