Re: LSD
- To lock both wheels.
-No, gotta equip it.
-If a car does not have a LSD their are many other combinations of differentials it can have. Most of the time on lots of newer cars they have a simple open differential. When the open differential is stressed, power is sent to the wheel with less resistance. It is meant more for daily driving, and cornering on a two-lane street. A torsen differential is the exact opposite. The power is transfered to the wheel with more grip.

The following website explains everything you could possibly need to know about differentials:

Actually the regular 997S with PASM seems to use something called the "Active Brake Differential". What is the difference between the Active Brake Differential and LSD? Thanks in advance.
The ABD is an "electronic" substitute that uses the brakes to stop the wheel from spinning free due to the open differential and stealing all the troque from the other wheel that has the grip. The LSD on the other hand is a true "mechanical" differenctial.
The ABD is not as effective as a the LSD, its less sport and more "intrusive". The ABD is tied to the PSM system, but when you turn off the PSM the ABD remains always activated, it never turns off.
So the LSD is better, and more fit for sportcars. But the ABD is better than just having an open differential.

every time i read that the LSD fits more to sport car... i feel sad and regretful
. please do not mention about that so often 
if i am wrong please correct me: there is no way to fit an LSD to the actual 997S with PASM ...(since there will be multiple systems to correct the torque distribution conflicting?

Re: LSD
Don't worry about it too much, the 997 can hold its own without a LSD already. Its just one aspect of the whole car, and its not really evident unless you take the car to the limit such as very agressive street driving or track.
Yes, you cannot fit an LSD in the PASM fitted car. They are not compatible.

the thing is i really do not worry about the handling of the car without the LSD. i believe my problem is kind of a psychological satisfaction about how a sports car should be exact.... (i mean not because of i am driving on the limits all the time
)thanks for the answer by the way carlos...
