Simple enough, turn the t/c off & do a little burnout.

But I don't think the '03's came with an LSD option.

A friendly dealer can also give you a printout of the options when ordered with the VIN#.
now that the car has been around a bit, and likely modded....it is likly not very accurate...a LSD can be added when a cluth is done pretty easily, but kinda rare even on a tracked car....many cars with LSD have spent MANY miles on the track...that is where the LSD is a HUGE help.
