The window sticker doesn't show it, but it's there.

Another possible way to check is chock the front tires, put the tranny in neutral, release the e-brake, jack up the rear, and turn a rear tire. If the other tire turns in the same direction, then it has LSD.

Thanks.

Yes, all 05+ GT's have LSD (limited Slip Differentials). If you're doing a one-wheel-peel then either A) you're not hitting the gas hard enough or B) The LSD clutch packs need to be replaced becasue they are worn out.

Nope, it is on the center console, top left side, and I also have heard that TCS cuts fuel, plus I find it to be just plain annoying when it kicks in.
