Default Limited Slip on Auto's

I have seen this discussed before, but have not seen a definitive answer. Do the 2006 GT's have limited slip as standard equipment from the fatory? Thanks.

traction control controls the wheels spinning, a t-lok makes both of the rear wheels turn, it retards the timeing, applies the breaks to the spining tire etc

yup. The traction control works off the ABS sensors to detect wheel spin.

The lt-lok rearend "locks" so both rear wheels drive.

The two systems are independant from one another as far as I know.

Are you sure all GT's WITH AUTOMATICS have limited slip differentials? The 2006 spec sheet for the GT says that the limit slip differential for the GT with an AUTO is an OPTION and even gives a price??!!
