Will the v6 be Peg legged?

what other vehicles is it offered for? jw.

torque management is like ABS, Traction control, and most other programs/functions to me. if it means the car is trying to control itself, i dont want it. when i want to "lose control", i dont want the car trying to gain it back.

I dunno...the disciples who drove the V6 cars said they were very capable of such rubber-shredding feats.

i'll have it deleted from the programming.

The G80 has a terrible reputation due to lots of seizing and breakage.

You're probably getting it whether you want it or not, and unlike ABS/traction control/stability control, you probably won't be able to disable it with a button.

gm first coined the positraction and positive traction terms, but it is just their way of referring to it.

i was gonna say that but u already posted and cleared it up. hehe. i was scratching my head big time. i was like "uhhh theyre the same right? last i checked they were." lol but definatly good info posted. when i upgrade my rear i want the detroit tru trac, thats supposed to be a nice diff.

oh? how can you get 100% to both wheels? wouldnt it be 50% to each wheel?


seriously tho, id love to hear the name of this rear. most all rears except for ones with lockers or the spider gears welded allow the outside wheel to spin faster than the inside one, part of how the differential works.

Nope, most allow the inside wheel to spin slower...which is why you can spin one tire while the other one sits still.

peg legged, that's funny

Read up on differentials. Open diff spins one wheel...Posi-traction is open during cornering, locks during hard acceleration... Locker is as implied, both wheels turn same speed, even while cornering, like in a better 4WD vehicle.

might be a lsd line in the 98-02 camaro v6

I think the V6 might be peg legged because the G8 V6 does not have a locking diff available but it is standard on the V8. I the think if there are 2 V6's, the non DI will not have it but the 300hp DI will. Just my opinion because I want to base it mostly off of the G8.

I really hope both wheels are spinning.... I'll be rather sad if they don't.

thats the same thing i said. only reversed AND backwards


allow outside wheel to spin faster...
allow inside wheel to spin slower...


same damn thing.

yup that it is..same thing..

[theholycow]

Folks, I wasn't comparing inside wheel speed to outside wheel speed. I was talking about each wheel's speed compared to the driveshaft (as I stated in my first post in this thread). It doesn't really matter, I'm not picky about my diff, I just want some sort of limited slip diff in my Camaro.
