Default whats wrong with my diff?

I just tested it out on a quiet road. stopped and with the wheel turned I dump the clutch and almost hit the curb on the other side of the road cause only one wheel is spinning? .... both tires always spin if I put it out into second though. any help would be greatly appreciated

Nothing is wrong with your diff, open diffs do that and VLSD's than some of our cars have also suck and do this.

Google ands search about diffrentials and how they work.
