has anyone driven both 08/9 and 2010 models and can share your opinion on the difference in terms of driving dynamics?

thinking about purchasing a 2010, heard that it got the torsen limited differential, does it make a significant difference???


VERY CURIOUS!!!!

I've drove both and couldn't tell any difference under normal driving conditions. I have a 2010 now and can tell you that traction from the rear end is like glue. Between the OEM Bridgestones and the limited slip, you get very good traction on take off under WOT. I'm sure the real difference is at the track, but I don't have any experience there. Hope this helps and good luck!

Never driven a 2010 ISF but have driven cars with open diff, VLSD, and torsen limited slip.

It will make a difference if you are full out racing in a road course and your coming out off a very slow corner and trying to put on full on power.

It will hardly make a difference in normal street driving.

Plus if you really want one a 1.5 way LSD is superior to a torsen LSD.

The factory backed Torsen LSD is just about bullet proof!!!!

You should be able to get a good deal on a 2010 right about now..

To piggyback on that NOW is the best time to get one new or used.

Summer is coming and the economy seems to be turning around although it is not turning around fast enough for a lot of people.

If if keeps headed the way it is right now, prices are going to start going up both for new and used cars including car loan interest rates.

You cannot expect the car deals available now to last forever.
