Still on the hunt for the right SS. Really want limited slip, prefer the smaller brakes for winter wheel fitment.

Is there a simple way to spot LSD on a 2008 or do I have to look for the RPO G85? Obviously on a 2009+ the brakes are easy to spot.

thanks

 

the brakes, the vin, and it has to be a 5-speed. Also, it did not release to the public until mid 08. So look on Drivers side door, anything made in '07 or up to May 08 will not be LSD equipped. Also, not available on Automatic, unless you buy a Quaif LSD chunk out of Atlanta for the T45($500)

 

Look for G85 in the glovebox on the build sticker. It's easy, and you can do it without tearing anything apart. It's how I found mine, and how the Ford dealer I bought it from didn't know what he had !!!

 

You sure about that? I though from the beginning, you could get an 08 SS, non brembo, 5 speed with LSD.

 

I've got a January 08 build with LSD

 

Yep, you sir are correct as that's what mine is .

Decoded the vin through work prior to buying.


With this, define the "right SS"? Mine is pretty well modded with quality parts, and I've only put about 6,000 miles on it since I had purchased it bone-stock in August (80miles round trip work during summer).

I ask you this as I do have an '08, 5-speed, LSD, standard brakes and I've been considering listing mine for sale. It is currently being stored away from the elements by the way, and is extremely clean condition wise, I seeked it out myself. If it wasn't mint, I wouldn't own it. PM me if interested.

 

sorry with Brake upgrade. non brake avail at start

 

Thanks guys. As luck would have it, 3of4 I am looking at have LSD.

Maybe I will get my 091LT swapped out soon!

 

first answer that popped into my head for that question was "look for the one that has understeered in the snow into a ditch".

In inclement weather, you really gotta watch the throttle in the corners with FWD LSD and 260HP!

Does anyone know what *kind* of LSD the factory used? Clutch plate, Auburn cone-clutch, Torsen or ?

OK I've resisted for far too long, my first thought of an answer to this was....

It'll be the one with the driver screaming about being chased by killer Giraffes while he sits naked in a tree.

But then I thought "No Mike, LSD jokes are bad".

After all its 2012 and how many people would get humor based on a bad acid trip, so kids....stay away from Lysergic acid diethylamide.
