My Corvette(s):
1978 Silver Anniversary two-tone silver
Default posi vs. limited slip

I thought all Corvettes had posi-traction?
Do the solid-axles also have posi, or limited slip?
Good question, I've never really thought about it!

It doesn't say so on the '81 spec page but positraction became standard equipment in 1970 on all Corvette rear ends.
