To answer your question a bit better, The manual V6 and V8 Camaro's have LSD, the auto V6 does not, and I not sure about the auto V8

To be clear the only Camaro's it's not included are the V6 autos.

I'd say that the A6 went without because its target market is not interested in performance, hence no need to spend money on a limited slip.

the majority of people buying the a6 v6 camaro won't be interested in performance, nor will they be on this website. Don't forget we (enthusiasts) are the minority.

I do however think the auto V6 should at least have the limited-slip diff available as an option if not standard. |

Plus, it's not that the auto V6 won't perform well. I suspect that it will perform very well without needing a LSD. Modern traction control and good suspension should make it work well. In the meantime, an open diff is safer in some situations when the rear could kick sideways from spinning wheels (big difference driving my open diff pickup and my dad's LSD pickup). It's also cheaper, and the auto V6 needs to be cheap more than any other Camaro.
