    Actually, the '03 Club Sports - all 50 of 'em - had the same diff as the '03 Sport Package cars did. In fact, the '03 Club Sport was basically an '03 Base + Sport Package with a/c, radio, and power steering delete (and soft top delete if you opted for the hard top).

    I'm actually kinda perversely happy to hear that - it means that to get the limited slip on an NC, you'll have to accept the 6-speed manual and the 17" wheels, which means C Stock NC's will have funky short gearing (52mph in 2nd at redline) and poor tire choices.

    Long live the '99 Sports!

    Are the ratios published somewhere? Since it's a different 6 spd, it may also have a wider ratio spread.
