    Thanks Pete. Makes a lot of sense about using TTOS as an advantage. That may be enough fun in itself. We shall see.

    Did a lot of reading about LSDs. One question that I did not find the answer is for the stock 99 C2 with 220 code LSD, what type is it (torsen or clutch)? I found where they are around 20/40% lockup. I assume it's a clutch type which will probably need rebuilding on a 99. If this is the case and I have to go into the diff then it doesn't matter what year I get, it's probably not much more to add an LSD as it is to rebuild one. Anyone experienced either?

    Whatever happen to this thread? It has a lot of good info.

    Can't get your pics - only shows a couple of red Xs. Maybe it's because I'm on dail-up? I'd like to see them. Good description of the handling. When you lift-throtle oversteer, can you get back on the power and hold it or do you just counter steer and add a little throtle to re-load the rear? I guess the LSD discussion makes me wonder if I should get a 99 with factory LSD. What type is it and is it only the cars without stability management system (is that how I can tell if it has one)?

    Quaife LSD does not use discs or clutches and it will last forever (http://www.quaife.co.uk/What-is-a-Quaife-ATB-differential). Regarding installation I am not sure on the 911 but usually it is a matter of replacing the inner part of the differential. So it's like a Torsen which I'm familar with. Definitely a great diff - does not cause the car to push and does not wear out.

    Thanks for the writeup.

    I was thinking to add the GT2/3 adjustable rear sway bar as well. This should give you the option to dial it in to your liking. I'd really like to know if this would be enough so I wouldn't have to add a LSD.

    Awesome response! Did it help? I drove an 02 C2 and the driver's side a pillar sounded like I was at 200 mph (80 mph actual.)

    Typhon, Nice gesture to post on the subject - so . . .

    Interesting. I had a feeling that someone might have your experience. I figured that a 911 might feel like it had a LSD because so much weight is on the rear tires that it takes a lot of lateral g to break it loose and thus puts the car into a slide, oversteering rather that just spinning the inside wheel. But enough theory - anyone else throwing it around - what's the word? Oh and I wouldn't mind hereing the details of your 02, mwetter.

    I seem to recall Quaife uses discs and clutches which usually make the car understeer more since it's "always locked" but I know they're used alot. Roughly how much and how difficult is it to install? As in the past (althought I've never worked with a transaxle) I would likely pull the trans and take it somewhere for the install to reduce cost. Is this more trouble than it's worth on a 911? Again I've done some complex things but with cars that are more accessible than the 911.

    I realize this isn't the fastest way around a track but once I mastered this skill I do it quite often (and no I'm not part of the drifter movement.) I'm currently shopping 02 C2s but really second guess it since I found out they don't have a limited slip diff. I'm not in the market for a gt3 but I thought about the 99 model without the limited slip but wanted something a little newer. For my intented driving style, once I learn the car on a track, I'd probably turn off the stability system most of the time and again enjoy 'controling' the car during spirited drives. For clarity I assume they will oversteer with a little off-on throttle upon turn-in but I'm asking if you can force the back end out exiting a 2nd gear corner and throttle steer it? Or does it just smoke the inside tire (how lame.)

    Thanks for posting the photos. They do look great. I guess the 02+ MY looks a little better probably because that's the original look of the GT2. But these photos are a convincing argument for getting and earlier car especially since I'm finding them around $30K vs $40 for the 02+. Does anyone think that 02s will drop to low $30s in the spring? I seem to remember better buys earlier in the year and am wondering is the market different for Porsches? For non exotics this would be a great time to hit a dealer up who's hurting.

    Dug up this old thread. Does anyone has more pics. The last pic is a grand slam but the one before (straight on) looks more like a Cayenne or something. Also, how is the quality of the Perf. Products kits? I researching whether to get a 99-01 or 02+ C2. I think I want to kit either to improve the looks. Thanks, Chris
