do a burnout, if there is 2 tire marks you have LSD. but in all honesty it should be on the VIN code sheet in the trunk under the carpet.. i forget the code at the moment though.

in a straight line, my non-lsd will cook both tires....around a corner in will destroy the enlated tire.lsd will still spin but hook so much better around turns , but looking for the g85 is the best bet. hope this helps

It should be on your window and you would have paid 495 dollars in options

it's a turbo. The g85 was a package on the 06/07's. I don't think the LNF's have that package do they?

g85 is the LSD

also, for the new turbos the axles and trans are much stronger, in fact they have the largest clutch that they could fit in there. i think you'll approve of its strength for quite some time, if not...well 5/100,000 FTW

You know you have LSD as soon as your furniture begins threatening you.

I currently have a base 07 non LSD of course, and I leave two thick black lines. Try turning and spinning the wheels, then you will know.
