Default So.... can quattro do peel outs?
Assuming the proper clutch dump or wtvr, can a quattro car sit there and spin the tires? My guess is no, b/c of the diffs, but I just want to make sure...

Please don't be angry, I'm sure you've discussed this a lot before, but I really would like to know

All it takes is 5MPH and oodles of HP and let the wheels spin. Turn in and it will keep spinning.

Yes, it can, but only with much more power than any current models put out.

I think quattro launches are much much cooler.

Default Of course it's possible... I dot it every time I leave the carwash :)
It's fun to see the car correct itself when ESP is on. Just find the soapy spots

My carwash is a big loop, probably not advisable as the road is surrounded in cement.

Consider a tire will need ~70lbs of torque to break loose...you'll need 280 ft/lbs to break them all
