Talking could your ls peelout?!

since owning my 94 ls400 i can never peel out in it.
i mean even when i try, it doesnt do it. is this normal? could the ls not peelout?! or is it just not noticeable?
this might be a dumb question, but want to hear your experiences on specifically the 1st gen and peeling out.

haha.
my definition of peeling out is a burst of torque that screeches tires or in this case tire.

If your TRAC is off then I'd say you have some tuning up to do Sir.

I can make mine squeal like a blonde on prom night!!!!

98 ls at mile high Denver won't quite do it...close but no black strips. OK, I lied. It did it in my driveway when it was cold out. I thought I counted two strips?

mine can. depends though. so far its been on-off. i used to be able to do some absurd burnouts and donuts but all the abuse has been taking a toll. i've roasted new pirellis in a night from the donuts i've done. lots of fun. the newer pirelli pzero neros have been hindering my ability to do so in the dry but lots of fun in the rain, especially taking off or turning corners.

I had a burning out competition with my friends. One had a corolla and the other had a cobalt. My friend in the corolla couldn't burn out at all, but I was much louder than the cobalt. After all, mine's a V8 =)
