Compared my LS1 to a stock LS1, found differences

I was comparing my LS1 last night with a completely stock one of the same year and I noticed a few differences. Just for reference I bought my car used from a dealer that did not know what they were doing. Ok, here goes, first of all, I have two throttle cables going to my throttle instead of to the box and then one cable to the throttle body. Also, I have all the wiring for the traction control but don't actually have the button. Does this mean I have it and it's been disabled? Another thing I noticed was that his clutch would slip a little bit when I dumped it and mine has never sliped even when I've been really hard on mine. Do I have a different clutch? Any help would be appreciated. I would really just like to know what's going on with my car. Thanks guys.

Well you will have 2 throttle cables 1 goes to your cruise control the other to gas pedal. When GM run these cars down the assembley line they use the same wiring harness on all F-body cars exept for auto or manual. About the clutch you may or may not have a diffrent clutch.

I'm sure your clutch is the same, one is probably just worn more than the other. Sounds like your car is pretty much stock to me. Usually the first mods people do are either exhaust or air box.

The fact that you have two cables going to your TB, I think, proves that you do *not* have traction control. Cars that have TC use that module for the cruise...while those without TC run a second cable to the TB...

ok, i figured that I probably didn't have the traction control. As for the clutch, i don't know if maybe either my previous owner didn't know how to drive or my friend doesn't, but there is less than 5k difference in miles on the cars. So, I doubt it's that one is worn more unless it's because of driving. As for being modded, well, my car already had a cat-back and a cold air kit already on it. I also found a lone power wire and spot where a wire was grounded on the inside of my consol. I was thinking it could be a stupid light up shift ****, ibut also maybe a line lock? That's why I am curious to see what/if anything else has been done.
