RE: Forget RWHP - Here's the real performance measure...
I made a short burnout video in my friends neighborhood. I was about to do it when one of his neighbors came home... waited for the geezer to go inside but he never closed his garage door.
Few seconds later I start melting the asphault wasting away one of my brand new nittos.. and just keep burning all the way through 1st and quit after about 30 seconds. Turn around to a huge plume of smoke and I see the neighbor outside with his son. 3 of my friends were recording the burnout with their camera phones, one of which were mine. As I watch the video, at the end I hear the neighbor shout "Not in this neighborhood!" I thought that was the funniest things I've heard... the old turd got his panties in a bunch over a one-wheeled burnout in his col de sac. Anyway, we high-tailed it out of there... I thought he was going to call the cops.

No kidding. I'm thinking come winter the superior traction of an LSD is a good reason to get one, right? I mean, its a safety feature really. It has nothing to do with harder launches...

Actually, its easier to lose control with limited slip. But when you do, itll be easier to get out of the front yard you wind up in .

Yeah, I'll probably smoke a turd in hell for that one when my boss sees it, when you consider the nature of our business.
The left mark is with TCS off, the right one is with TCS on. Kinda weird how that works. I watched Bullet last night, so it was still in my head.
