Default Limited Slip Differential Option - What Do You Think?

Has anyone driven the RC350 F-Sport with the limited slip differential option? Is so, what kind of driving experience did you have? Did it make the car more fun to drive? Would you get that option again?

I thought the F-Sports had this option standard?

It's only available on RWD. We had ours built and I wanted this but we chose AWD. And it's just optional, not standard.

i think every coupe needs an LSD , the sport package is so worth it for these cars.

There seems to be disagreement on whether LSD is a standard option on the RC350 F-Sport. When I look at the RC brochure, limited slip differential is shown as an "Individual Option" and is NOT listed as one of the F-Sport features. When I look at the build tool on lexus.com, LSD is NOT shown as part of the F-Sport package. Unfortunately, the build tool does not show LSD as an option either.

Looking at what information is available, I conclude that LSD is an option that can be ordered (by the dealer) on a RWD RC350 F-Sport. If so, has anyone ordered it? How does it change the driving experience? Would you order it if you could make the decision again?
