Are Front Wheel Drive Cars Positive Traction?

Hey, Zephyr,
Nice, umm, uh, shoes. Be careful with those - you could break something or put an eye out.
You don't have all that plastic on the back of your T/A, right?
BTW - Some FWD cars have slip limiters on the drive axles. Momma's got an Astro 4WD with a posi axle on the rear, which sounds like overkill, too.

And them stickers, I took them off of the Sunbird after a few months and no, there are no stickers on the back of my T/A.

positive traction as apposed to what, negative traction? if your referring to limited slips, only honda/acura was available with a limited slip differential and only on certain models. gm sold a limited slip for the getrag trans through gm performance parts, but it's since long gone. since there is little axle twist from side to side, it will commonly spin both just as most independent suspension set ups will spin both on a equal traction surface.

That isn't true. Go back a little further, in the mid-eighties, the Shelby Dodge turbo cars all had limited slip transaxles. I've still got my 86 Shelby Charger, and it'll pour smoke out of both front wheel wells pretty respectably. Dodge was making powerful front drivers before Japan even got the idea.
(Still drives the wrong wheels though, in my opinion).
