Default Cant do donuts turning right?

I found out that i cant make the back slide out turning right... only left.. Is this normal or is my differential messed up?

When i turn left and floor it i can fishtail easily, turning right and flooring it and i think only 1 wheel spins or something and the back dosnt slide out...

do a short brake stand and see if you have 1 or 2 burn marks on the ground.

Posi and Limited slip are the same thing. Open differential is one-wheel power.

A 99-08 GT has posi/limited so both wheels should spin unless he's burned the clutches out in the unit.

sound like you got a "open" rearend. In which case only one wheel spins most of the time
