Some do. If it came stock with dual exhaust and disc brakes it is a Y87. Other features include a limited slip rearend w/3.42 gears, and the same steering package as the V8.

Open the drivers door and check the sticker on the end. Look for a G80 code and a GU6 or GU5 code. By the way, not all RSs came with the Y87. I know first hand. [&:] If it has the GU4 code, it is not a Y87.

That's it. Seems you were misinformed about having a Y87. Welcome to the one tire fire club.
