Do I Have A Lsd???

Hey, i have a 2005 ss/sc. I bought it used with 9K miles on it. The dealership told me it had a LSD when i bought the car, but i later find out that not all these cars came factory with one. Is there a way i can tell...from the vin # perhaps???

not all the cars came with both the recaros and the lsd. If you have a g85 package then you have both, but some cars just came with either the recaros or the lsd. I know someone who has lsd but no recaros so it is possible being that the salsesperson didnt mention anything about a g85 to you. Take a look for yourself or bring it to a mechanic to have them look for you.

dude they came as a package, they only way it could have it without the recaros is if the dealer installed the LSD after they got it or if they took the recaros out. get your stuff straight

If you have an issue with him, take it to private messages. I'm sure most of the rest of us don't come on here to listen to someone swear like they were in grade 3 and thought it was cool.

Honeslty, if your friend has LSD and no recaro's, then he had the LSD installed at the dealer perhaps. And it wasn't a dealer "**** up" because the dealers dont make the cars, they just sell them. Did he buy it brand new? if not then the previous owner probly got it installed...or maybe hes just shittin you haha either way, congrats on the purchase man!

no he bought it brand new and ive even driven it and it sticks much better than my car without it. So it must have been a dealer "**** up" i guess i was under the wrong impression. As for the other guy that posted something about wut i wrote.... if you dont like it then dont read it, no one is forcing you to read anything you dont want to, and as for the "bad words", im from ny thats how everyone talks, just deal with it, i guess that just makes me a piece of ****, whoops i did it again! but im sry i didnt know i was offending ppl on the site .................................................. ...........................................
But other than that, its great how he insults me and then everyone else jumps all over my ass too, nice bunch of guys we got here

We're not trying to jump all over your ass. We are just saying that you are the first one to come on the board and talk about a cobalt ss/sc with only half the G85 option from the factory. So, seeing as there are many many extremely knowledgeable people on this board, if it were at all possible for a cobalt ss/sc to come with LSD and no Recaros, I am positive it would have been brought up before. SOrry to come off like an Ass, it's been a long day...

lol its cool man, sry for the way i came off too. all good, i was directing it to the other guy, but aside from that, it must have been a dealer error and he got the $1500 LSD for free or something cause that thing sticks better stock than mine does and our tires are both in similar perfect condition.
