    I don't think any model had them stock, maybe some HSV's, but as far as I know they were all optioned.

    yeah the BT1's definately came out with LSD as standard. I also thought the SS came out with them aswell.

    as far as your car having it just check under the diff and have a look. if its not too dirty youll be able to see the words "high performance" or "lsd" written on the diff housing. or alternatively do a burnout in your driveway and count how many lines you leave.

    This should answer your questions.

    All V8's didn't have an LSD, they had shot peened gears I think. This thread also makes mention that the "high performance" tag with no mention of LSD means it's not an LSD.

    The ZOMGWTFBBQLOL how to tell if i have an LSD thread:

    i did 4 burnouts in drive way as you sed and 3 were two wheels and one was one wheel. then dad came out and i got in trouble coz we live in rented house. but then he sed that on smooth ground it will spin both but in rough or grippy ground it will spin one. i will hav a look tonight after school. i dont no if this helps but it is inderpendent rear end (i know bag spelling).

    if its spinning 2 wheels even occasionally it must be a LSD. standard diffs only spin one wheel never 2.
