03 auto, w/LSD STOCK !!!???

Ok i dont know what to say, i never really did a burn out or anything but today at i light i decided to floor it against a wrx anyways i floored it and it jsut peeled out for a couple of second and kept peeling out for a good 10 feet, i came back around the block and to my amazement 2 tire tracks ALL the way 10 feet long, so i did it again in a parking lot same results over and over again no matter where i go both wheels spin, i tred in the rain as well and everythign,.. That is LSD correct ?

Not necessarily. Both wheels can / will spin if your on a surface that's basically the same under both tires. Easy way to check is to pour some water in front of one tire and none in front of the other, pull up onto the water, do a burn out, check results.

Edit:

Or you can turn the wheel to one side and do a burn out. That may be a simpler test. Or you can be brave and jack the car up on both sides and have someone grab one wheel then lightly tap the gas. OK, I've got plenty of other tests but that should be enough! lol

LSD = lysergic acid diethylamide
HLSD = Helical Limited-Slip Differential

with HLSD you should get two tire tracks.

With an auto I believe it's traction control, not HLSD.

Limited slip hasn't been around as long as LSD, I'll give you that one! Just goes to show you what different meanings letters can have, huh? Let's all call it "posi" from now on, what'dya'say?! lol

doh, you are right the OP does not have any sort of HLSD, but he might have some LSD.

We can always ask him if he had any blotter paper or sugar cubes in the car. Maybe he just "saw" 2 tire tracks... and the pavement melting... and cobras! j/k! lol

As much fun as burnouts are, you could just match the transmission model number found on the firewall plaque behind the engine to the tranny model numbers published over and over on this board. Just search for LSD!
