Doesn't every cobra owner need a posi so they won't do huge burnouts every time they touch the throttle? My litle chevy couldn't go anywhere in a hury when it had an open diff. The right tire would just smoke and the car would sit still. I remember my father coming home one day when I was 17, I had just finished removing the whole rear end out of my chevy. He got pissed, thought I was in over my head. I was replacing a 10 bolt, open diffed, 3.23 ratio; with a 12 bolt posi with 3.73's. When I told him that, he stared back with a blank face, he just didn't understand. His buddy laughed and said that makes sense. Best thing I did for the car. Even though it had more gear ratio after, the posi allowed the car to actually accelerate away from a stoplight, instead of doing a pegleg tire roast.
