You're reading the very opposite of what I wrote. Specifically, let
the clutch fully in and accelerate with maximal throttle up to the rev
limit in 1st. I think you will spin the wheels.

I'd love to hear of any road car that will do this on a good surface in a
straight line. Likely none, as it would be extremely dangerous, and the
maker would be sued in the US.


Every 2 litre FWD car I've ever driven would do it.

#iopes even my 1967 Bedford van ould do it. Up to about 1mph


Classic example of Turnip not understanding a thread. But then any fool
can spin a wheel on most vehicles.

eah. I test drine a Jaguar XKR which didnt have the traditional lSD.
When I took it back the guy said 'how to fo like it?'

I said 'It stops well from 130mph, but I dont like the way the inside
rear wheel lifts on a fast corner - it cuts all power'.

It's a safety feature for poor drivers like you. With an LSD you'd have
spun it and crashed.

Good point! I'd forgotten everything has traction control nowadays.

I've never driven a car with traction control. But then, I haven't
bought a car since 2001... I like the one I have.

Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Cavalier, Nissan Primera are the ones I've owned.
You know, obscure niche cars...

They would all spin their wheels on a good surface dry road in a straight
line after the clutch was fully home?

Very odd none of the road tests ever mentioned this.
