Default Is my 99' TA limited SLIP?????

I have a 99' T/A. when i do a burn out i get the weirdest feeling that i have some sort of (partial?) limited slip. is the 99' stock with full posi? or what's the deal here...?

Its limited slip but what that means is that not only do both wheels spin on a burnout (posi) but it allows the outside tire to spin faster going thru a turn.

so the outside tire spinning on turns faster is a good thing?

in a straight line, both tires should spin equally

in a turn, your outside tire should spin faster to prevent wheel hop

find a deserted stretch of road and do a burn out. make sure you see two black stripes.... if not, your posi unit is burned up.

if you are just noticing that you kind of drift to one side or the other, it could be as simple as tire pressure, but as complicated as shocks/struts/springs/sway bar...

So let me get this str8, limited slip meens posi in str8 line and outer tire spins faster on turns? That's it???

what's wrong with limited slip that everyone makes fun of it then? there must be a downside to limited slip...what is it?

Dude, your alright. I just got through a vendetta with my rear end. I thought my **** was broken, turns out 99 and up fbodies have Zexel Torsen diff. Cokeroker hit the nail on the head. No worries, go do a burnout and feel better about your car.
