ouch!!! The quality sucks because you converted from mpeg compression to Windows Media compression!!!

Open the original mpeg file in quicktime and export it using the mp4 compression. You can play with the options from there.

no i do not have black outs(but my taillights are really dark for some reason?

and i don't have posi either, its just that my open diff almost always burns both tires..( in one of the clips which is looking over the back of the car, you can see i take a right turn and there is only a strip of rubber left on the passenger side.

the car ALWAYS fishtails/ dounuts on left turns...and whenever i do a brake burn, or lauch at the track its always both wheels spining

Are you sure you don't have a posi? sounds like you do, I would check your RPO codes to make sure I mean you have a gta so there is a verygood possibility you have one. Did you always own the car or how long have you had it maybe someome darked the lenses.

If its the original rear end for your GTA then its POSI. Gaurenteed. However, the posi could have worn out, or the differential could have been swapped.

My 9bolt posi went bad in my GTA finally. I can spin them if punch it going a straight line, however on right turns only the inside tire will lite up. On left turns both tires will spin.

Sounds to me like your posi is dying, or dead!
