I had a big block Coronet with a Sure-Grip rear end. It was nasty bad if it was slick out. The Sure-Grip is locked and unlocks a bit in tighter turns. The Cobra has limited slip but it has enough power both tires spin anyway. Even when it had a open diff.
The Ramcharger was a great car for when other people are stupid, which is sadly very often it seems. It was a beat up old truck and if they wanted to run into it it was their prerogative. The only time it let me down was when I sank it up to the running boards in mud. We had to tie my uncle's truck to a tree and run the winch line back and forth a couple times because the 8000# winch couldn't pull it out otherwise. We tried a snatch strap on an S10 Blazer first, but it just bent his truck. Had to drain all the oils, diffs, transfer case, oil pan. Got crap in the u-joints and the center joint on the front shaft let loose some time later.
