if you had a vlsd you would have 2 patches on the ground from burning out you would have a (one wheel peel)

I agree Neal, I get 2 patches without lsd and also get just as good a 60' time.

With the LSD sometimes I would get 2 patches sometimes not, it also goes away once it heats up a bit so its not really useful at the track.

maybe not useful at the drags, but believe me, when accelerating through or out of turns on a road track, the difference is incredible

The VLSD tranny can be identified (as others have said) by the transaxle code indicated on the firewall panel.

Jacking up your car and spinning one wheel will result in the opposite wheel rotating in the opposite direction w/an open differential. I have never had access to a VLSD to confirm how it differs.

If you have the transmission off of the vehicle, you can tell by the size of the axle holes. A VLSD transmission's driver's side hole will be substantially larger than the passenger's side; an open differential transmission's axle holes are approximately the same size.

Here's a chart straight out of the FSM:
