I bought my new 93 camaro about a month ago, it has a tendency to burn both tires, but if i brake torque it lightly on the gas it reveals i have a one wheel wonder. My other 93 has posi, whats the difference?

you may have a worn out lsd unit and there has been a few open rear cars out there and you can get an open rear to spin both tires from time to time.

Sounds like a failing posi to me. I have had them go out slowly until only one tire would spin.

Nope! The only way to be sure would be to pull the cover and take a peek. I was just speaking from my experience.
