Everyone always talks about the VGS wheel, mainly because of its flat bottom...but what else is special about the VGS. I've heard many different things, but does it actually have a different rear end than our US spec S2000?

Someone was telling me that it has a Torsen LSD...different than ours US spec s2000's. Is it actually any different???

Thanks!

 

well, the "VGS" is short for virgins. usually younger males around the ages of 17-22 can be found driving them.

i drive the non-VGS version which is kinda contradicting of myself since i practice abstinence.

ALL s20000 have torsen LSD regardless of euro spec, jay de em spec or us spec.

when i went to go buy the car i called my buddy Al to come along and get high with me since the car came with LSD. but we soon learned that it was not the same LSD we thought it was.

 

i have the non-vgs version also. i wish i had a knit sweater to match my mood...

 

Woah. That's a big engine....

 

The diffrence is obviously in the looks

 

yep.

i assume yours is the regular s2000? mine's bigger.

 

I believe it stands for Variable Gear Steering or something like that. Obviously it has the different steering wheel, but the steering ratios are somewhat dynamic based on your speed. If you're going slower and turn the wheel, the car turns more than if you were going faster and turned the wheel the same amount.

Also to get that VGS wheel on a non-VGS spec car, there are quite a few modifications you need to do to the wheel/hub assembly to make it fit. There's one or two people who have done it here.
