Look in the trunk and see if it says g85, if it does then that car has a LSD. If not then the previous owner swapped in the recaro seats

The trunk check is to look at the build sticker under the carpet. If it has the RPO code of G85, then it has the Limited Slip Differential.

Well from the looks of the small pulley if you but that car without a super extensive test drive it will be cheap and broken within a month! Just my .2cents! If it were GMPP staged or bone stock id say go for it, But it looks like someone was trying to make there dream Balt! Which seems to be in the area of a T/C BAlt, Lol previous owner spent $$$ on just T/C wheels!

CHeck the pulley size..

If it's smaller than a 2.8 there could be big problems down the road.

Pulley size is on the pulley. A pressed on pulley with no bolts is stock. 77.9mm with 4 blue bolts is GM stage 2.
