What a waste of a good set of tires. Morons. Bad representation of Lexus's.

Atleast it's a real burn out with both tires spinning and not a peg leg wanna be.

I've been able to spin both my tires before and I dont have LSD. However I can say that the chances of me doing the same thing again is close to zero

I have seen people spin them as well, but I doubt you can power brake both wheels without LSD.

that's odd, however I did notice that if you try to spin the wheels with traction on, the left wheel spins then shuts down and if you turn if off the right wheel spins I wonder if a faulty traction sensor will allow both wheels to spin? It would be a lot cheaper than LSD.

You can be the guinea pig. Since I'm free this summer, I might put this experiment on my 'to-do' list. Perhaps we can manipulate our stock system to give us an LSD-effect. Hell, the IS-F doesn't even have a mechanical LSD. It uses VDIM in conjunction with the brakes to provide LSD functionality.

Unfortunately I dropped almost a grand for the TRD LSD, but that might be something to keep an eye out for.

sounds kind of narrow-minded,...maybe it's a burnout done just before mounting a new set of tires?

Wish you were closer, I'd love to put your LSD to the test when it comes to burnouts Getting two lines is easy My 'peg leg' against your LSD, I'd like to see the difference

There is a huge difference on launching as for burnouts
It's nice to see two wheels tear up tha asphalt
All the pics and vidz of burnout with no LSD, the car has always been in slow foward motion. Can you power brake with no foward motion and still spin both wheels from the start? This is starting to get interesting for an open diff set up.
