Absolutely not. The base is an open diff.

I find it rather tough to definitively know that only one wheel is spinning, except for obvious situations like beings stuck in snow. Just taking off from a traffic light, I'd never know if it was one or both tires slipping.

This is the reason I opted for base without sport. I saved a few grand on the deal. The only thing I wanted was the sport brakes which I picked up from a vendor here for $1100.

I prefer torsen diffs myself.

1 wheel burn outs you still go straight and will also follow the direction of your turn, ie, no oversteer until you break loose the other wheel by sling-shotting the rear end out (turning hard enough). You still have 1 wheel holding the road since all the power is going to the freely spinning wheel.

2 wheel burnouts you're generally going to skid sideways a bit, or if the wheel is turned, oversteer/spin out pretty easy. Total or majority loss of traction in the rear, making the rear end very likely to swing out.

good for you... you're missing out on the SRM, but if that doesn't matter to you so be it

something for everyone to keep in mind... there are people here upgrading with big brake kits and looking to unload their entire OEM brake setup... should be somewhat less than what matt paid for a slightly used set

I didn't know that the VLSD was that bad.
