I can live with that, just the thaught of one wheel drive with a sports car makes me uneasy.

The easiest way to tell if you have an open diff , is put the rear on jack stands, and turn one tire, if the other tire spins the opposite direction , it's an open diff ; if it turns int he same, it's got a LSD.

Note that Helical limited slip, is different ; it only biases torque and is common on FWD cars.
