Default Only Right Rear Tire Spins...

Hey all, I have a 2007 Mustang V6, and I was just messing around with it when I noticed only the right rear tire spins. I looked it up, and found something about the differential moving power to the right rear when the car senses loss of traction. Is this information basically right, and if so, is there any button or some way to turn this off? I dont spin the tires very often, but when I do, it would be kind of cool if both tires spun opposed to just the one. Thanks everyone...

V6 mustangs come with open differentials, meaning that only one tire will spin and move the car. The GT mustangs come with a larger rear end and has a lsd (limited slip differential) where both tires are able to spin and move the car.

You can upgrade and get a t-lok so that both tires will spin, but it's only worth doing that if you have gears installed at the same time (3.73s or 4.10s).
