Default Smoky 11's or One wheeler peeler?

I've been wondering ... those that have been brazen enough to pull of some smoky burnout's in their GS's. Do you lay down the big smoky 11's after the VSC is turned off, or is it a One wheeler peeler show??? There has been some sand outside of my driveway do to a neighbor building a pool, and I have been having a little "fun" with the VSC off. I feel the car going sideways, but im guessing its do mostly to the sand. Anyone know???

i have lsd so i have 11 all the time. actually on a good gnd surface with same traction left and right, even without lsd you should have 11. if you are on bad traction area, then likely there will be just one

Without LSD (unless you're lucky like Henry says with both wheels hooking because timing is just right) it's just like the Highlander says.

There can be only one!

if you are pointing perfectly straight, you can get both tires to spin at same time.(I did it on my driveway once )

btw-never heard it called a smokey 11

As Henry said - with the LSD, TC and VB upgrade my car will keep burning out until I lay off the gas. Lots of fun - my tires don't like it though!!

I'm assuming that you have to brake torque the car in order to spin the tires on straight line acceleration.
