I think this is a FWD, which makes it easier to burnout cuz all the power
is going to one wheel. I think it's pretty hard to smoke the tires at all
in a quattro, unless you have a v8.

I've never done this, but what's a car if you can't have fun w/ it? It's a
stupid trick, yah, but some people enjoy this. It definitely means there's
something different going on under the hood. I've never done it, but I bet
it wouldn't too much damage in a well built motor. These motors are s'posed
to be "bullet-proof".
