Does the 997 GT2 come with an LSD? Sorry, but I'm quite new to the "details" of Porsches.

Secondly, which 997 cars can you get with an LSD?

And the 997S outside the US, via the -20mm option (adds LSD, bigger sways, springs and stiffer dampers).

The US got shafted not getting the -20mm option.

/rant/ I personally believe it was due to model differentiation. Top down, the RS got stripped of its track stuff (seats, harnesses, plastic rear glass, roll bar, and even the roll bar mounting points, ACK). To differentiate the RS from the GT3, the forced the sunroof on the 3. To differentiate the 3 from the 997S, PAG forced us to accept an open differential, just as PAG would not put a LSD in the CaymanS. I wrote PCNA to try to get an answer on the -20 option back when I bought my S. . . no response. /end rant/

Would this mean there is a possibility that the ROW 997 GT2's would have this "-20mm option" and the North American versions may not?

The GT cars do not come with this option, nor is it needed. I guess you could say that the 996 GT2/3/RS and now the 997 variants come with it pre-installed from the factory.
