What should they have then?  A non-posi rear end is even worse for
cornering, unless your turning left.  I know, because I only get power
to my right rear wheel, and anytime I make a right turn I can't push on
the gas pedal more than like a centimeter or the wheel will spin.  So I
don't understand what you're talking about.  The only other option is an
axle w/ the spider gears welded/connected so that both wheels get power.
But then when you make a turn it still will be worse than a posi,
because the outside wheel needs to turn more than the inside wheel and
with a solid rear axle it can't do that, so you get tire screeching and
worn tires.  That's only good for drag racing.  There's one more option,
that's the locker, but it basically operates similar to how a limited
slip differential (aka posi) operates.  If you're having problems with
fishtailing through tight turns, it's not because of limited slip
differential.  It's because of the driver not knowing how to take the
corner.
