Spool vs. Limited Slip Differentials

[V-8]

Hi guys;
Which one would you prefer in street usage?

Hi,
A spool is only good for straight line race cars or dirt modified cars. The main problem with a spool is the car will push you straight instead of letting you turn into a corner. Now combine that with a short wheelbase and you'll be off the road before you can blink.

street and spool can't be used in the same sentence.....

If you never have to turn your steering wheel, a spool is the way to go without a doubt. Otherwise, stick with a detroit locker in a ford 9' and you are good to go. Summit has them for $400.

A spool is great on the launch but will actually give up about 2MPH at the lights to a Posi. Doesn't mean it won't get there first, just won't have the terminal velocity.
