Re: Posi or Locked?

I think every car should have one. They're pretty. :p
Posi only locks up when it's needed, and lets the wheels turn at different speeds when needed (driving around corners).
Locked (always locked) sounds like a "spool", where the rear end is basically one solid shaft. Great for straight-line driving at the track, but for the street. Turn a corner, and either the tires scrub themselves to death, or they'll be hopping, jumping and chirping around the corner as the back of the car does a little dance. There's the chance of an axle breaking too, if you have real good traction while going around the corner.
