may be a dumb question, DO we have a 'posi' traction?

So I am more familiar to the truck and SUV world. I know my tahoe had a locking rear diff where if the tires would spin it would lock up the one on the dry pavement as well. FOr most cars are typically 1 wheel drive,,,, the wheel on the loose stuff..

So will this thing lay one patch or two? :)? How does the rear diff work in comparrison to a solid axle diff?

I know when i did it a few times i only left one mark and i totally slammed on it....smoked it very well though...
 
I figured that would be the case, I assume the one w/ least traction will always get the power.
 
The LS differential is an open ("one wheel peel") unit. However, if you have traction control or advance trac, that system will simulate "posi" action by applying the brake to the spinning wheel and transferring torque to the other drive wheel. Alot of SUVs and cars work the same way (a 4-channel ABS system is a must, which provides the individual wheel speed sensors used by the traction control system).

Nope, its a one tire fire. See here for this demonstrated by me at our LVC meet at the shop with an 05'.

Darn Whats under that hood for that LS to peel out like that WOW :eek2:
 
I've lit mine up a few times, I've never power braked it. From a dead stop I can burn about 20 feet, then the left wheel comes in for a couple of feet and the car will break loose in the rear. I also do this with traction control off. And not very often. Tires ain't cheap !!!

All stock. Its funny if you watch when the camera pans back to the smoke and you can't even see the Eckerd drug store across the street. It was an amazing amount of smoke.
 
Im always afraid to torque the engine up like that while on the brakes! How high did you have the rpm's? I have held the brake down and got on the gas a little, and the car squats (which is odd in itself??) but im chicken to get on it any harder! :)
 
ohh..and

Wish I could have done that before I got new tires!!! :) :steering

Where ever the rev limiter holds it. I know the last I looked I was far past 6k.
 
Sh!T!! LOL so you put the brake on, and basically floor that thing. Aren't you at risk for breaking SOMETHING? Heating up the TC?

One more question if you have the advance track off and you peel out the way the mpg shows wouldn't you break up something on the advance track system or would it be ok?? I'm going to watch the video again it looks sick!!

I would think if it was OFF you would override it, and be okay.. Cant imagine what it would do w/ it on.. besides reduce engine power, apply breaks, man it could be a mess?
 
My manual...

With my V6 manual I can lay down two tracks....even with my 20"s

I can do a really great roll back burn out too. I will sit and spin the tires for quite awhile. but new tires are kinda pricey so I don't do it much!!

I would like to try it but I'm scared im going to get some check something light and I have to take it to the LM Dealer to get serviced!! The car in the movie sounded like it had a modified cat back system from ONEBADMK8 I may be wrong but ONEBADMK8 did say it was all stock!!
 
I agree, I do that once...i am for sure going to get the CHECK ADVANCETRAC light!! lol

The only thing we had done to that car is an experimental intake that we are working on. Thats why it has a slight "growl" from under the hood.
