Default Quick question for you guys

Hi all, I am a recent owner of IS350 w/Sport Package and other bells and whistles. I am wondering if it is equipped with L.S.D or not. I have been looking at the manuals and Lexus website tech specs and this information was nowhere to be found. Maybe I might have missed out while reading my manual So far, I am loving the car.

Thanks

the 350 has a quasi-LSD. not a 'real' one. the canadian lexus website leads the canuck consumer to believe that the sports has a full LSD and the luxery does not. pure BS

Thanks for the info. If you don't mind me asking what's the difference between a quasi-LSD and the full LSD. Thanks again.

if i can remember an LSD can make one of the wheels turn at a different rate than the other. A lot of FWD cars can be upgraded with one, for them it helps a lot for handling and traction. Im not sure about RWD. The new civic Si and 6spd TL have LSDs stock
