G85 or not?

I already searched it and i cant find it... how can i tell if my car has the LSD? i dont have the paper that tells it from when i bought the car. the reason i wanna no is cuz i have raced my friend CBodnar from here and he always seems to be on top. yes i know he is the better driver of us but wen we go from a roll we are pretty damn close. we even switched cars to see if it was maybe driver and wen i drove his car i beat him. so now i have the intake and he is stock. we race from a roll and we are pretty even then wen he hit about 90 he starts to pull. i no that LSD helps with the turnin but i just dont get y his car always wins. we have an appointment to get stage 2 in on wednesday so maybe with the new flash we will see if both cars are even or if he still begins to pull. so ultimately i wanna know how you find out if u have the G85 or not.. thanks

Only the last one is the true test. The build code says you should have it, if you see G85 on the sticker that is. Seats are an iffy thing because some 07s were made without them. The burnout thing is not true, I have done it in cars with and without G85 and gotten two marks. The real place you feel it is powering around a corner, a non-lsd car will smoke up the inside tire, where my car will transfer power and pull around the corner or at least break them both loose and start to understeer.
