It was an option for the 6-speed. The Phantom Grip works well but can cause transmission failure.

If you are 6 speed & you can leave 2 strips of rubber when going WOT, then you have LSD

Do you ever notice when you take a corner and floor it only spins one tire . That is because you have an open diff. With a limited slip it transfers torque across to the wheel with grip allowing both tires to gain traction, hence the can you put down two treads. In a straight line though many open diffs can lay two marks so it's not a indication of a limited slip. The limited slip helps on launch a little and powering out of corners alot.

From my understanding only 04 6spds came with a HLSD, the 05's and up came with a open diff and traction control.. I think anyways.

If you open your trunk and see a Leprechaun doing it with the Smurfette...you'll know you've had LSD...
