Default 03+ Accord Coupe, 250hp when using 91+ octane? LSD??

98CoupeV6 mentioned that Honda secretly implanted into the ECU the ability to adjust the timings if 91+ octane fuel was used. This allowed for "+10hp/+10tq".

I was by my local Honda dealer today and said what the hell and stopped in for a test drive on an 05 FBP Accord V6 Coupe 6MT. On the test drive I had a BLAST. I love the new Accord coupes. Anyways, during the drive I asked him about the adjusted timings and he was like "Yeah, it's got VTEC" and I was like nonono I KNOW that damnit, I drove up in a 98 Accord EX, and he didn't really seem to know what I was talking about when I mentioned 250hp with premium gas. Can anyone link me to a confirmed bit about that?

Also, I had heard/read somewhere that the new Accord V6 6MT has LSD and Electronic Stability Control. I did see the stability control button, but the guy who rode with me didn't know about LSD. I can't find this on Honda's site either. Can someone link me to that, too?
