how do i know if a really have the g85 package

 

if you have recaro seats you definately have G85,

if you dont you may still have the limited slip diff,
next time your at a light waiting to turn left, punch it hard when your turning really sharp.
if it pulls like a SOB, you have LSD, if the inside tire wants to break loose and spin and it doesnt pull super hard....you probably dont have LSD.

 

1. Walk to back of car
2.Open trunk
3.Pull up carpet
4.Read silver buid data label on left side

 

does anyone know what all the 3 digit codes stand for? thats something ive wondered but never really looked into?

 

Most of them, yes.Something in particular?

 

There's a list that someone posted on this site. G85 is the actual code you should see if you have the limited slip/recaros depending on application.

 

I looked in my trunk, no G85 listed

 

rev your engine to about...5000 rpms, let off the clutch, and while spinning tires, madly rip steering wheel left and right. Look at your tracks, then youll know.

I mean cmon guys, its not like its a $1500 option and that you should know what you bought...cause you know, we all make sure we know what the MSRP tag lists, right?

 

well half the time the dealer had no clue what it was and only mentioned the seats..

 

and i got mikne used so im not sure what its got

 

what year is your car?

 

06 was the last year the G85 was available

 

^last year the recaros and g85 were avaiable throughout the whole year.

 

just checked gm's site the other day. it said it was availible until august or somethin of this year.

EDIT: im sorry it says no longer available for factory ordering as of august 28th of 06

 

no, nothing in particular. i was just wondering what they all stood for. its a curiousity thing.

 

I bought a set of service manuals for mine from Helm Inc. for $135 (Crate Engine Depot is cheaper ,) It lists them all,also lists all DTC's what causes them etc. Good investment.

 

Can't a mod make a sticky saying "How do I know if I have a G85?" for these threads that come up 20 times a week?

Answer look in the trunk opn the option code label.
