Is your traction control on or off when this happens?

It will make a difference. Leave the Trac on... The T/C is on all the time. When you push the button you turn it off.

I noticed the same thing when traction control is on. It kinda like a handicap were it helps you go the direction you want with out you looking at your tail lights. You will have to turn off traction control each time you turn on your car to get all ass sideways.

If it was a Torsen or a weak sprung clutch pac differential I would say it was normal at times. But the GTO uses a cone type diff and it should be set up tight and be able to eventually lock both wheels in a corner.

If it only lets one tire spin especiallt the right side during really tight right turns it's kinda normal. If it lets the inside tire only spin in all turns tight and long you have a problem.
