Default Tire spinning!!

OK, I just went to move my car and when I started back in the driveway I couldn't resist, I dumped the clutch and did a quick and small burnout. But when I looked at the road there were 2 black marks. Every other time i only had one tire break loose. Is this normal?

Lol your car grew a locking differential.


But in all seriousness it could have been anything, I've gotten slightly sideways and left two strips before, not abnormal. Doesn't mean there's power going to the other wheel, just that you lost traction on both wheels.

Add to that the colder temps and with the right (wrong?) rubber it's easy to break free.

I bought it used so I assume its stock. The black marks where only a foot long so it wasn't a monster burnout.

I had the same issue. But when I do it in purpose there is only one tire spinning. And I also should like to lock the differential. Any ideas?
