I resto-modded an '81 Malibu, and use it as a Saturday-night cruiser, and I'd like to be able to really boil the tires down and have the car hook up at the occasional drags.
I'm about to get a ford 9" and all the trimmings, but I can't decide on a diff.
I'm worried that a limited slip/posi unit wouldn't provide the positive "both tires powered" feel.
I want a Detroit Locker, but I'm kinda afraid: exactly how much push will it give through corners? I am going to build up the suspension so that it's able to cut some corners and not feel like a boat, but I'm worried that I could really lose it in the turns with a Locker. Safety first... it's a street-driven car. Also, just how loud are those things?
