Well at around 12 runs at the 1/8mile on 1 weekend and about 15 runs 2 weeks later and all I did was change to a spool ... What else could it be ??

Imagine someone with a few drinks or some drugs in their system in the wet have 2 wheels spinning with their single spinner, and then for it to drop a wheel.
Thats right, its not legal to have a few drinks or drugs in your system

i don't see what the problem is. OK out of all the people that have posted here how many have actually owned/driven(for a length of time) a car with a locked diff? mine was a daily driver never had a problem when using it in a normal manner in all weather conditions.-they don't make your car do 360's around every corner

Sorry your point being?????

My point being it's not legal for someone to drive whilst under the influence, so I don't see how you can use that in your statement.
Spools aren't that bad if you are sensible. It's the wet weather warriors (who happen to be in commodores most of the time??) that end up stacking. I'd rather know both wheels will spin, than having a single spinner that spins 2 wheels, and the suddenly drops a wheel sending you in god knows direction.
But for an everyday thing, they are a pain in the *** to drive at low speeds, especially parking.
All that said, I'd rather an LSD or a locker, over a spool.

Spools are also Not legal.

I know its not legal to do that. But that does not mean that people do not do it. They are caught every day doing it. I am just pointing out that doing it with a welded diff, a mini spool or a full spool, would be lethal.That was all.Especially if its done in wet weather.

You can't stop stupid people from killing themselves I guess. Too bad they end up taking out others with them!

I went for a drive in a car that was spooled and had a 3.08 diff ... it was worse going around the round'a'bouts then my car with 4.10

I would think the only reason why would be the quicker the wheels turn that would make it "spin" the inside wheel rather then "skip" the inside wheel.

At the end of the day I drive my car BUT a lot of the times I say to myself .. Damn! ! I want to take that spool out its driving me crazy (these are times I go shopping or parking )
