rear axle question on my TA

i was jsut looking at my RPO codes today, and i noticed something i never noticed before, i have a code G80 and it says AXLE POSITRACTION, LIMITED SLIP so does this mean i have true posi, or that jsut one wheel will do the smoking??? the car is also a WS6 TA. so i am jsut confused upon what i have for the traction.

Punch it and find out!

I picked up my Vert two weeks ago, and I too have the G80 RPO code. Guess what, my first brake stand quickly settled the issue - you have limited slip (meaning, of course, you get both rear tires burning rubber).

PS - I couldn't resist the first brake stand, but in my defense, I did it at the Bowling Green Corvette Plant parking lot!

G80 is posi. Both wheels spin when you get on it. If it doesn't, then you have a problem with your posi unit.
