There is no trim level, so there isn't like 350z Base vs 350z Touring/Enthusiast. It's all one model and that model comes with an LSD.

And why do I need to go aftermarket? Simple...Aftermarket > Factory. You are not paying for Factory components and getting the same performance that you would from the aftermarket. Factory options and components are not as aggressive and in a general way....watered down when you compare it to the Aftermarket. Not to mention Aftermarket is cheaper.

Example:

TRD supercharger for the tC was around $4k installed from Toyota. Got you 200whp.

Aftermarket turbo setups for tC were same price and you got 300+whp.

You can't beat Aftermarket in the $-to-performance category.

A navi head unit from the dealer EASY $2k. Do you know what you can build for $2k in terms of a car computer by simply getting the stuff yourself in the Aftermarket? You could build something WAY more potent than that touch screen from the factory.
so basically you're saying what we all already know. that the scion factory performance options, if you can even call it that, is crap. looks like scion's options ARE all about looks...
