Best guess . . . few people who are interested in performance want the the automatic V6

My dealer sent me what's in my car in an email, and I got the auto. It DOES say limited slip is on the car!

The base V6 auto will sell >75% to people who don't care about having limited slip. Price is a HUGE concern, so it makes sense to save that money on that configuration.

V6 or V8? Was limited slip an added option if it was V6 auto?

^LSD is available on the LS and LT if you get the manual only.

Well that's good news, maybe the LSD is part of the RS package when ordered on a v6 automatic. That's how I remember it being on the 90-92 camaro. I will check with Paul Conte Chevrolet in Freeport, NY.

Nope, sorry but you're dealer is (wait for it...) wrong. This is from GM Global Connect. LPO G80 shows where the LSD is available. According to this, unless you got an SS, you can only get LSD w/manual.

G80 is a locking Rear Diff. Not Linited Slip.

It is a good Diff. But does have its Issues.

I believe G80 is merely the RPO code for the optional diff, which would be a locker if it's on a truck, or limited slip on the Camaro. That's not the first time I've seen the G80 code on Camaro documentation and my first thought was "a locker on a Camaro???" too.

The G80 locker on pickups is known to grenade itself.

The reason the V6 auto doesn't get LSD is the same reason the rear rotors on a Cobalt SS/TC are vented/drilled and the front rotors with Brembo calipers are not. GM decided it to be so.

Lifting up this by search.

So had 2010 V6 automatic for some time.
Really interested of some kind of limited slip differential...
Is there any differential that acts like limited slip differentials but fits in automatic rear?

You can pick up one from an SS and put it in. Take some work, but that's probably the cheapest way. Several of the SS owners putting in bigger/better ones and are willing to recoup what they can.
