Default Do s2000s have a limited slip differential?

im wondering because i looked up the specs for the 04's and they have them but i was playing gran turismo and was looking at the description for the s2k and it didnt mention anything about it but when you look at the description for the s2k spec v( a special model they had in japan) it says that with spec v model honda gave it a limited slip differential. this got me thinking do 00-03 standard s2k's have limited slip differentials?

They have all had Torsen limited slip diff's. I suspect GT4 is not as accurate as it could be.

I surmise what you call spec v is the VGS model available in Japan. The VGS designation refers to variable gear steering.

Yeah but GT also refers to the car as a FR.

Heh heh. I knew someone would take the bait... Go look at your front spark plug location. Note that the front spark plug is behind the centreline of the front wheels. The rear spark plug is (well) in front of the centreline of the rear axle. That means she's a mid engine beastie. Front mid but mid nonetheless...
