Actually yes, right company, Chrysler owns Vauxhall. Thats how they made the new GTO in the first place, they just switched out a few of the body panels and re-badged it. Job done.
errr, GM owns Vauxhall and holden. Thats why the GTO is a pontiac, a product of GM...
Chrysler doesnt own any of the manaro or GTO.

the car in the picture is indisputedly doing a one wheel peel.
my theory?
its a pre-production version, without the posi.
but i guarantee you, if this is a production version, it is a goddamn waste.
I argee, I think they just threw somthing togeather for people to see what the car will be like. Lets pray to God the accualy production versign has a limited slip diff.

You never know. Maybe since Chrysler is doing so poorly financially, that some bean counters high up decided they could save some dough by not putting LSD's in their performance cars. Or maybe the prototype team was so eager to get the thing out and drive it that they said "screw it" and just threw whatever rear they had available in it, instead of waiting for the LSD rear. Either way it's still the failboat with it's OVER 4,000lb curb weight.

I don't have the pic, but from what I see posted, it's probable that the burnout was accomplished, and the car was drifting away from it when the pic was snapped. That's really the only logical explanation.
A cold and wet testing day took away some of the fun, but the horrid weather was a boon in one sense. One of the development cars was fitted with something we dream BMW will someday add to their 335i and 135i: a proper limited-slip differential. The Getrag torque-sensing unit works with the Challenger's stability-control programming and should become an option, most likely paired with the manual gearbox, for 2009. The diff paid big dividends around the wet track, helping to put the power down when accelerating out of corners and stabilizing the car under heavy braking. It's unfortunate that the LSD won't be available for the first run of Challengers, and all the early adopters will have to hang their heads in shame when they tell their buddies that they bought a 425-hp, rear-drive muscle car with an open differential. We feel so badly for them.
