Upgrade to an LSD and enjoy the increased traction. Then start upgrading other stuff as needed.
AS I predicted....Takes til page 3 to start getting answers. The primary abuser had to run home to Mommy.

Yes, Rear End seems place to start. THAT is why I came here asking about people's EXPERIENCE.

if you want an lsd you can find one easily from a part out, simple swap
get yourself a softer compound tire if you want grip
At 100K miles, the bushings are getting upgraded anyway. I can feel a little looseness. Like I said....100K miles is far enough for bushings to go. I intend to replace them soon, probably soon after Rear End is sorted.

WOW....Input....Finally we get some sense suggested. Real knowledge and experience it appears.

Thank you guys so much for showing up.

My tires are fine....It is the car set up that needs improvement.

The nut behind the wheel knows well where the Apex is and what to do when.

I currently do not have a race car and want to dabble in Auto Cross a bit, again. I'd like the dang car to be safe on the street too.

Thank you all so much....Now just to locate a Rear End for my G.

If you did you wouldn't be complaining about tire spin. You'd know how to tame it. A LSD will help tame it, but in the end it's in the control of the driver alone. The hardware can only do what the control software tells it to. But good luck with spending money.

Again, the car is safe on the street without LSD. With your driving style (hammer down in a corner) you'll go from safely spinning the inner tire to sliding the rear end sideways. And while controlled drifting is both fun to do and watch, uncontrolled drifting will just bend your outside rims and fenders when you smack into things.

But hey, you know it all and have heard the answers you like so I'll shut up now.

Is that really supposed to be an insult coming from someone who can't even manage to drive their own car??? If it really takes "experience" to tell you how an open differential works than...
I stopped posting because I've got better things to do other than arguing with someone who apparently hasn't graduated high school yet.

Come on kid, post some pics or vids of your awesome racing machine in action.

I enjoyed the "got abuse" comment on the first page. Nothing but helpful responses from the info given but "abuse"

Ok Jeff

For anybody else with this issue of loose rear end exiting corners.

Turn off VDC...It helps quite a bit. Stops the just the inside wheel spinning so much BS.

You guys have been so helpful as usual.
