Just being curious

Me and a friend of mine were looking over my car and we were wondering if the AT RX-8's equiped with LSD. We tried to burn out but that didnt work too check if it does. And I've searched through and found nothing. So ah.. anyone wanna answer this question?

I believe that if you didn't get the sport package with the bigger wheels, then you don't have an lsd... I have a base model AT RX8 and don't think I have one.

Not sure, I'm not too familiar with all the different packages, but I believe if you got the bigger 18" wheels, then you have the lsd. Anybody else know this to be true?

The Tochigi-Fuji torque-sensing limited-slip differential is standard on the MT and is an option which comes in the Sports package (and above) in the AT.

In other words, the only RX8 that DOES NOT have the LSD is the base model automatic.

Read your mon-roni. It will state LDS if you have it. Mine had it in the opptions list.
