[Bikeman315]

Aftermarket wheels , and lowered too .

Tailpipes aren't stock either. Catbacks?, axlebacks?, who knows.

Since it has part of the Performance Pack installed, but is BASE. He's not gonna know what gears are in the pumpkin, until it's opened up. Then should find out if it's the torsen or not, and the gears.

ANGST is right. If your car actually has Brembo's (none of your pictures show them) then they should have never sold you this car. Buy, bygones as you already have it. The seats are OEM. Possibly the prior owner just swapped out the entire seat.

Standard brakes. The calipers have been painted and Brembo stickers applied.

We could have helped you figure out what you were looking at when you were shopping/purchasing. Food for thought for the next time.

Torsen is a brand-name of differential. Just like Brembo is a brand-name of brakes.

Performance Pack cars come with a Torsen branded diff with 3.73 gears.

Performance Pack also comes with a Torsen diff, 3.55 gears for automatics, and 3.73 gears in the manuals. The torsen diff is the waaay better differential of the two. Ford's base diff is mighty-garbage in comparison.

What is better about the torsen than the base diff?

 

[VisceralSyn]

The stock LSD is barely an LSD, clutch-pack that one track-day can burn right up. The Torsen for the s550 mustangs has been revised and can take a metric ton of punishment ( track day ) and come back for more.

If you tool your mustang around town, occasionally take it to the drag strip, the base diff is sufficient. As soon as you want something that resembles performance, in and or coming out of a corner on a road course, the torsen is a god send.
