Default Whats the deal with this?

I had my car jacked up the other day at a friends house and it was in park. When we spun the back wheels they spun opposite directions and it was really easy to move. My friends said this was strange and said I might put up a post to see whats up. What kind of rear end to they use on the 01 WS6's? We spun my friends 98 TA's tires and you have to give it some muscle to get them moving, and I think they spin the same way. Can anybody solve this mistery?

What you have is a torson differential, you have to apply power to the driveshaft while having a certin amount of traction to get the rearend to act like a posi. With the car jacked up it will act like an open differential.
