You have a locking unit because you can spin both tires, while the V6's have an open differential and can only spin one tire.

actually, you have a limited slip diff, which allows power to both wheels evenly while accelerating but acts like an open diff when turning to turn better, a locker will lock the rear end and the tires will get power evenly through no matter what, a spool will make the tires turn at the same speed
