Limited Slip Rear....
I asked this in another thread and got no responses. I had heard that the SL65 comes with a Limited Slip Rear. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, do any of the other models come with a Limited Slip Rear? S65? S600? SL600?
Thanks for any info!

SLK55 030 doesn't
SL65 comes stock with one ... CLS55 030 has LSD so does the SL55 030.
I believe these are the only 3 that either come with it or your can get on your car. (US don't know about other countries)
I believe the reasoning for the SLK55 030 to not have an LSD was because of the short wheelbase. AMG tested the vehicle with one and said it was too twitchy. I just recently read an article about a modified SLK55 (NA) around 400hp and they mentioned that the tuner had put in a LSD. The testers also found the car to be twitchy.
