Question xjr has limited slip?? and we dont??

Ok, i noticed on a add for a 2000 xjr that she has LS.

But our Xkr's do not? ok... is the pumpkin on the XJR the same? am i correct that they have steeper gears as they are a heavier car?

I don't think any car with Traction Control has Limeted slip as they wont work together. Traction control brakes the spinning wheel. Limited slip transfers power to the spinning wheel. They can't work together.

Default LS

Cars all over the place have traction control and a LS unit.

Look at almost any 2000 and up Mustang GT.

If you take the traction control off and stand on mine, you get two solid strips of rubber. They are equal in length and that would appear to indicate some form of limited slip?

Default ls

They have a really tight open diff, If you prop up the back end, and spin the tire you will see that it is not LS.

If you are looking for a limited slip setup for your car I have all the parts to give you LSD with 3.58 ratio instead of your 3.07. You will have LSD & quite an improovement in acceleration. You will be amazed at the difference.
