-car has LSD
-dirt road
-you are a knucklehead

ummmmmm if you turn one rear wheel forward and the other turns just the same rearward, you DO NOT have LSD. remember, if you dont have LSD, the average speed of the two wheels will equal the speed of the incoming drive (proportionally, that is)

I don't believe it. Someone is confused. This is obvious.

The option code sticker at the back of the car lists like 3 codes for me none are the lsd code. The window sticker has tons of options, all of which i have... except i do not have cloth inserts on my seats(says it has the 500$ option) yet they are full leather? But the sticker says it has the lsd transmission and it was like a 2000$ option. SOOOOOO i dont understand. With all these methods checking out i think i do have lsd.

Those of you with aftermarket added LSDs, keep in mind that the Quaife and clutch-type react oppositely to the "turn one wheel" test.

No. You can have it any way. Cooler, no lsd - lsd, no cooler - both - neither.
