Default Limited slip, do I have it??

Ok, I was pulling into my driveway, and its at a crazy angle, so I have to pull in at an angle so nothing scrapes. Well I got half way into the driveway and the driverside rear wheel came off the ground and it kept spinning, what happened to one wheel slipping and transfering the power to the other wheel? I turned off the traction control, and the wheel kept spinning, so I had to get out of the car and push it. I have a 2001 camaro ss 6speed with every option from slp, so why isnt my limited slip working? If I put a Eaton posi in, will it actually work? Thanks.

I bet you have a Torsen differential and those split the torque evenly but they will free spin under a no load condition. pull the cover and look inside to confirm.
