i was at the dealer testing the 997S and asked if a limited slip was available on the car..he said no. i read in GT magazine that the sports suspension option comes with a mechanical limited slip. anyone know the right answer? porsche website says nothing about it.

There is a "20 mm" sport suspension option that's not available in the USA that includes a LSD. It's a no-cost option on the 997 S and is available on the 997. I don't know why it's not availale in the USA, but chances are good that they 20 mm lower ride height is either too low, or perhaps Porsche simply didn't anticipate enough demand to warrant the cost of certifying the car with that option.
GT magazine is from the UK, where that option is probably available. I don't know where Tofino..... is, but googling on it makes me think it might be British Columbia, and you probably get similar cars to those for the USA.
