Z16s did NOT get a posi. Chevrolet felt that with the rear sway bar, boxed lower control arms and the convertible frame that the rear was tuned enough to not need the "crutch" of a limited slip differential. Seems odd, but true. If you look at the photos of all the test drives in magazines back in the day, they are all laying down two smokey patches so apparently they knew what they were doing.
