Here is a update. Here I am crying my 60' is crappy, I think my posi is shot. I was washing the car today and I see lots of rubber (from the burn outs) on the pass side. I am thinking cool! so when I get to the drivers side, there is almost nothing? Seems like my posi is a peg leg now? What do you guys think? need clutchs?

I vote Mickeys also. i have 275/40/17 m/t on mine with an auto and stock rear with a stronger rear end cover with bearing support and have not had any problems but the stock rear end is not the best for these cars so it will give eventually.. very quickly on a M6 if you hook too hard or dump the clutch. I had several size street tires and nittos on mine before and these m/t's on there now dead hook almost no slip. its rare or there is alot of crap on the road or track if they dont grab. All the others broke free off the line and would usually break traction in 2nd and even 3rd gear sometimes.

Well that could definitely contribute. Have you done any burnouts on the street lately? That would make show some very obvious evidence of a one-wheel-peel.
