I'm talking about just givin' it some gas, not brake standing. Now I'm confused. How do I tell whether I have TL (besides the door tag)?


So you can spin both wheels while moving? Then you have trac loc.
An open rear, (non TL, One wheel peel) only sends power to one rear wheel. Trac loc, engages both wheels when the power wheel starts to loose traction. Also give it more street manners vs having both wheels push you around turns.

My car locks when it wants to. With the new exhaust, and minus all the audio i used to have, it locks a lot more and easier. You should be able to tell by the load on the motor and drop in RPMs when it locks.

My car used to rev up when spinning, then lock, RPMs dropped down and grab. Now, on a good day, with my little 225/50s it revs up, locks, drops a little then back up til it shifts 2nd.

I love my car!:burnout:

I've never had a car with a locker. Out of 7 cars, I'd say the odds are that not alot of them had one...

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
