Are you looking for the RPO (option list) of your vehicle based on your Vin #?

In other posts you say you have a manual gearbox. In 2011 that would be a Tremec TR6060.

You have a clutch-type limited-slip differential ("Positraction.") No C6 came with an open diff.

Thanks! I read on some website that not all Corvettes had LSD, so it wasn't true.
