It's good if you want to handle turns better, drive in the snow, or drag race.reedred said:This option will also be a good idea for those of us dumb enough to drive our cars in the snow, right? I have this... uh... friend who plans to drive a Sky year-round in NY...
Driving your Sky in the Winter? NO Soup (oops I mean Sky) for you! My wife isn't going to be happy when I tell her we aren't going to be driving it in the winter. Winters are hard up here and the salt just eats through a car.reedred said:This option will also be a good idea for those of us dumb enough to drive our cars in the snow, right?

Winter driving is ok, but no snow driving... we usually only get one or two road covering snows a year so winter driving here in east tennessee is not too bad...rick112 said:Driving your Sky in the Winter?

My plan is to drive it year-round, which would invole the occasional unforseen snowstorm or anything up to about an inch or two. Anything really big I should hear about in time to call Enterprise and pick up a rental. Everything is usually cleaned up the same day except for my road, which always ends up with a layer of packed down snow and ice that stays around for aboiut 2 months or so. As for the salt, I really don't see too many rusted out cars around here and will probably trade the car in for a new one before any major corrosion can happen anyway.rick112 said:Driving your Sky in the Winter?

Or if on a budget you would weld up the diff to create a ridgid axle. (Think chaindrive gocart)DuSpinnst said:It's good if you want to handle turns better, drive in the snow, or drag race.
Of course if you are really into drag racing (and you don't drive the car in the winter) you'd get a locking diff.
Nope!!! It is a great option to have regardless what your tranny choice is but you will notice it working a lot more on the manuals.doberman said:Is the limited slip differential option only good for stick shifts?
Yeah, you'll notice it more on the manuals because it clunks.Sky Dealer said:Nope!!! It is a great option to have regardless what your tranny choice is but you will notice it working a lot more on the manuals.![]()
