How do I tell if I have PSM?
I think I do. The dealer spec sheet says it does. I have a button that says PSM on the dash and when I press it the orange PSM light comes on to indicate it is deactivated.
However, my option sticker does not list 476.........
Are these stickers unreliable? I know you cannot fit it after it leaves the factory.....
I'm assuming that the non-PSM cars do not have the button or the orange dash light, therefore I DO have it fitted......right?

You can also tell by the time of the month. If once a month you hate your car and don't want to have anything to do with it and then cry after you have left it....yep, you have PSM

You should have it if the toggle button is in the car...
if you want to find out for sure, just take it out and bang out 1st and 2nd gear...if you see a light start flashing...you know u have PSM!

This is an easy one.
Step one: Find a 90 degree corner with lots of trees right off the outisde edge of the road.
Step two: Acheive a steady speed of, oh, I would say 85 mph.
Step three: Enter the corner at 85 mph and then violently snap your foot OFF the throttle at mid-corner.
Step four: Assess the results.
If you spin *** first into the trees, you do not have PSM.
If your car lurches violently but stays on the road, you have PSM.
No need to thank me. I do this as a public service for you all. Friggin noobs.
OK, out of all seriousness, you have PSM since you have the PSM button. Take your car to an autocross or high-performance driving clinic with a skid pad so that you can learn how your car behaves with PSM on and off.

Seriously, though, you can try to get the car turning in a parking lot and then gun it. If the gas cuts out despite full throttle, you have PSM . . .

I looked today at the model options list for the '03 and it IS listed as an option, which is why I was confused to not see it listed on my sticker......
