GTP, Problem?, Only one wheel pulls.

[RmRacer]

I have a 1998 gtp, i am normally easy on the car but today i got a wild hair and did a little burnout. Only one wheel pulled and it pulled to the right, also i have noticed when driving it slightly pulls to the right. Are both wheels supposed to spin or just one?

we dont have a posi/limited slip so only the one wheel will spin.

With equal traction typically you'd get both wheels. Although this is not guaranteed, as GPGT says.. we don't have posi.

 

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

yeah, sometimes you can get both wheels going, but taking into consideration the crown of the road or other conditions like that, whichever wheel has less traction is going to spin

So if im at the track with slicks or on the street, i can always light up both tires...i must have "posi"?

It wasn't availabile unless you added it from Quaife, EP, GM Torsen or an Intense LSD. It was never available on a factory transmission. Likely you have enough power to break both free.

or engineered performance still makes their lsd. but, like bill stated...you obviously have enough power to break both loose

I was being sarcastic bill.
I believe power has little to do with it, Its simple TQ biasing in an open diff.

Thanks for the help guys. Im kinda new to grand prixs. mom has had one for 2 to 3 years, and i just bought one with the wiring harness and injectors burnt of and fixed it. I love these cars but i dont know a whole lot about them.
