My main answer was that yes,a torsen is a 'posi' and that it's the one that came with models I mentioned.
Now to increase your 'awareness',2000 V6 Camaros with Y87 Performance Handling Package came with Torsen Limited Slip Differential,fast ratio power steering,large diameter front sway bar,and dual exhaust

If it's stock it can't be a 3.08. The V6 cars that has posi were either M5's with 3.23 gears or A4's with 3.42 gears. 3.08 were on open rear A4's only, unless the posi unit was added later.
