Very nice looking Carrera.

Interesting look with the 993 style (basket handle) 3rd brake light and 993 style wheels.....don't recall seeing those before on a 964.

I'm guessing that clear lenses in the front are a future mod?

Maybe contact Eric at www.bumperplugs.com (rennlist sponsor and great guy).
He might be able to suggest something to cover up the 2 holes if you remove the 3rd brake light?

Yes, I do.
Because if I were to drive it down the street, I'm sure I would attact a little bit of police 'attention'
(not really street legal ....Porsche Motorsport VIN, no license plate...but it does have catalytic converters!)

M220 is LSD (see my VIN sticker below) and M224 is ABD (virtual-but-not-really LSD). With ABD if one wheel is spinning more than the other than the brakes are applied to that wheel, its basically traction control if combined with engine braking -- ASR. LSD will actually transfer torque to the slower/non-spinning wheel (a very simplified explanation).

220 is the code for the Limited Slip Differential.

If it is any consolation, GT-three, neither of my 2 ex-RS America's had LSD. Curiously, my 993 does.

I've never understood why Porsche charged nearly $1000 for LSD (or $130 for floor mats) on a 911, when those items are standard on every Mustang GT and Corvette. I suppose the answer is "Because they can"!
