No amount of "initially" will break both wheels loose.

All my RWD cars/trucks have had open diffs - this is the first one that has something of a locking diff - and when it comes to wheel spin, it's a different beast. Much easier to get sideways!
IDK, I have a non sport pkg and I can lay 2 stripes.

Bringing this back from the dead. But to answer you're question NO. The only way is to upgrade it with one of these on this thread
