Sometimes an Open Carrier can power both wheels when weight distrobution is right.

If you do have a properly functioning Limited slip Differntial, Then You will know it. it won't barely slip the other tire, Your car will Rock and buck and walk sideways, and all sorts of Fun stuff

We used to race open carriers and could spin both wheels the same amount. It all depends on how you set it up.

Agreed, sometimes my 85 could light both tires up, but it was most definitely a one legger to the bone.
