Default LSD or not?

Does the GS400 have LSD or something else. I've heard that the gs400 did not have LSD rear diffs. I did a burnout the other day just playing around with some buddies and they told me both of my rear wheels were spinning and two tire marks were left on the road. So do they have LSD or something else?

no they dont come with lsd. However you can install one. On certain pavements you can get both wheels to spin.

But if it's not LSD then what makes both wheels spin on certain pavements?

something to do with the at-the-time L/R weight balance and traction?

That would be my next mod along with a tranny cooler and TC
