Default axle problem

I have 2002 SS camaro,with no traction compared to the 01 Z28 I had before.
when changing my oil on a buddies lift I noticed I can spin the rear wheels easily like it has an open diff,I could not do that on my 01 Z28.Do they both have the same type of diff?They are both automatics.

Both have similar diffs but your posi could be worn out. My '85 Z28 did that after some serious abuse with sticky tires. If you take it out and do a burnout it will probrably do the old peg leg one wheel burnout, hence your traction issues.

Did you ever change the oil on your old car? It might have had an Auburn posi, and your new car has a Torsen diff. in it. Do a search on torsens.
