hey vosko, I did a burnout tonight.. I was going about 25 mph in 3rd, then took the car to 9000 and dropped the clutch and did a slight heel-to-toe, and burned out for about 3 seconds while going the same speed.. left a nice long track on the asphalt.. I think I'll be stocking up on tires, now that I got a taste for it.. HEEHEE

Very Cool

Why would anyone care what someone else did with their own car?

I thought the clip was great.

Is that left rear tire really nearly stationary in the video while the right one spins, or is that just an illusion due to the spinning matching the frame rate of the camera? It looks like the smoke is coming from the right rear tire. With VSC disabled, do we lose the limited slip?

It's strobing. At the very start of the clip, the wheel even appears to be turning backwards, and once the smoke has cleared you can plainly see two stripes on the roadway. The Torsen LSD is mechanical - there's no way it can be disabled.
