This was my concern (4 concrete barriers), not trying to spin both wheels at once. I'm sure you can understand.

Just trying to figure out your point though as you posted the same sarcastic post in my 'burnout thread'. I can generate just as much smoke as you with the LSD, I can leave the same lines so I guess I'm getting lost with the hint of hate. It's no secret that the GS comes with an open differential so leaving two lines is tricky for most but it can be done.

You're right about launching in a race as one wheel spinning is a waste of time, but it's just a burnout, we'll all survive if only one wheel spins.

OP: sorry about the thread hijack

So what you are saying is you can spin both wheels at will? Good, still for a contest about burning rubber and the wheel facing the crowd is just sitting there doing nothing, that must be a disappontment So yeah, I guess there would be a difference then, I would not have a problem spining both wheels, barrier or not

No offense to anyone but why is it that on Youtube or Streetfire there are only videos of the GS4xx doing burnouts? That sucks...it's like people are saying they are only good for that; confused. Not condoning racing at all but I can count on my hands of videos on the aforementioned sites that show a second gen. GS running another car and/or doing 0-60 or other sprints (2 of which are mine; but that's before I did a lot of my work on my car). I never see modded GS' doing anything more than burnouts lately. I think Jeff has a couple of cool videos but that's about it (oh and some guy with a stock white GS400 (that probably can't drive) getting walked by an '05 Acura CL; I hate that video. It's a bad representation of the V8 GS...

OP - I am sorry for also hijacking your thread; nice burnout BTW for what it's worth.
