Yes, 5AT Sports Pkg has LSD. I can vouch for this as well.

What do you mean "practically open"? Like worn out? 60K is not that many miles. Not enough to render a LSD useless unless the car has been beat to hell. In that case, you've got other things to worry about too.

Yes, you can add/replace a LSD, but it's not like dropping in an air filter. It's expensive parts and labor. Even if the LSD needed rebuilding, it's still cheaper to do that on a car with one that already exists versus installing one on a car that never had it. It's just makes much more financial sense to buy a car with the sport package if you care about that stuff. You could probably make up the difference just by selling the OEM 19" wheels if you want different rims. If you just want looks, then get whatever is cheapest like a bare bones non-pkg car and treat it like a blank canvas.

ahhh you're right. i'm trying to justify not getting exactly what i want because no one seems to be selling AT sports in my price range at the moment. too damn eager to start driving this beast

I say if you plan or think you might plan on swapping the suspension, dont bother with the sport package if price is a big difference.
