97 Mustang Rear End


I just bought a 97 Mustang GT and I was wondering what sorta rear end does it have in it stock? Like a locker, or limited slip or what. My buddy had a 97 V6 stang and all it would do is one legger burnouts and I was wondering if the GT's were different. All the movies I have seen on youtube and such have mustangs doin 2 wheel burnouts so I was just wondering.

All V8 mustangs since the mid-80s have the 8.8" Traction-Lok (sp?) Clutch-type limited slip differential (well, not counting the IRS cars).

So, if all you're doing is one wheel peels, then you need to rebuild it. I know ford racing sells a rebuild kit.
