    There's a big difference between individual cars,my ZTT is very planted and quite hard to unstick in the dry and not at all tail happy in the wet.However I drove a Mk 1 ZT no. 038 I think and this was a total drift machine,any sort of right foot abuse would easily unstick it in the dry,just so different to mine.(both cars on OE Contis at the time)

    It is the extra weight of the estate. (also for me a full sized spare wheel and tools and Kitchen sink)

    On the track it is better than the saloon (My opinon)

    LOL, was wondering why mine was taking a bit of persuasion to slide out recently. Must have been the spare wheel in the boot.

    (And all the other crap!)
    Did have #207, now belongs to John :(
    One day, I'll be back in the 260s... :)

    It will sound strange but it seems to be getting better! The harder I drive the car the better the LSD seems to lock up. Maybe its had such an easy life until to know it didnt know how to work! lol

    Wasn't the trick with an LSD to keep the power on? Most people seem to lift when to slide starts, reducing the power and stopping the diff from doing it's job. Keep the power on, adjust it to control...

    Maybe you've been too easy on the throttle al along

    No way Normally only one wheel was spinning up so no slide, just loads of smoke and no trousers.
