Default LSD or not?

Hey everyone was having a discussion with my Nissan fan boy friend abut diffs recently and the LS came up... The big question is does the 4th Gen LS have a factory mechanical LSD?

After having driven my 1972 Plymouth Scamp with an open diff, I would have to surmise that my 2010 LS definitely has some sort of LSD. Surely the traction is not ALL traction control based.

It seems that only 2013 - 2017 LS460 RWD F-Sport's have a mechanical LSD
but the one they get is the best there is, a Torsen design

2013-17 F Sports have Torsen.

2010-12 Sport has an E diff similar to the 08-09 ISF. Physically they have different carriers.

In park hold traction off for 3 seconds for full disable and mash the throttle..
