I have not personally ever seen a -002 myself, just heard on rare occasions people speak of them or claims to that effect. It could very well be a "bigfoot" phenomena (everyone has heard of one but no one has ever produced a body!).

Currently, the Spec Boxster rules only specify the G86/00 transmission and there is no mention of the LSD option. Elsewhere in the rules it states that the only changes allowed are those explicitly mentioned in the rules (if its not in the rules, its presumably illegal). Thus, I am sure a Spec Boxster running a stock LSD would be quickly protested.

You are not the only one. Much like some other "phantom options" listed by Porsche (like the factory cell phone, which we only ever saw once, and that was in a car driven by a factory rep), we have never seen one either, only aftermarket units.

So if -002 isn't lsd, what is it?
