Hi everyone,

I was just over at mazdausa.com looking at Miata LS. It says the LS model
comes standard with Torsen LSD (limited-slip differential). This is the
description:

"Improves handling feel and control, particularly on rough or slippery
surfaces. The differential automatically transfers power to the driving
wheel with the greater traction to help keep you going. The Torsen design
accomplishes this particularly smooth. "

This simply means it can transfer power between the left and right rear
wheels right? Because as far as I know, Miata is a RWD car. 

Just want to clarify. Thanks!

Martin
