S2000 does have it, but if you have to check anyway:
1. Lift both drive wheels off of the ground. (Jack stands, chocks, SAFETY!!!)
2. With the car IN GEAR, turn one wheel by hand.
If the other wheel spins in the opposite direction, then you've got a limited slip differential.
Also note: If you could arrange for one drive wheel to hang over a ledge of some sort while you attempted to drive the car using the remaining wheel, the hanging wheel would spin and consume all power while the car sits still. There must be SOME traction, albeit not much.

Wouldn't that be true even if it was an open differential?
