Peeling Out
Recently I bought a 1996 Lexus SC300 and raelized that I can't squeal tires on take off or peel out in any form...Is it possible or does the SC not have enough torque to do so.?

Realize that we don't have the torque a 400 does and that we peak around 4800rpm @ 210ft-lbs, with that said, I can light both my tires up at will (although I rarely do so), of course having the 5 speed helps out.

Why would you want to "peel out" anyways? You will want to go slow, so everyone can see you in your nice new ride.
Oh yeah ... I can burn a little rubber too.

If it's a 5spd than you either need to learn how to drive or change your clutch.
If it's an auto, practice powerbraking when the road is wet and go from there.
Easiest way to light them up is while going through a turn.
You must be careful though, as things can get very ugly, very quickly.
My first ticket ever was for "reckless driving" AKA fishtailing.
I actually managed to get off because I had just washed my car and the tires were slippery but I guess it was also because the cop was nice.
Don't expect yours to be that nice.

man I can "squeel" the tires on my moms Camry 
edit: And BTW, don't do a neutral drop like you decribed.. that is REALLY bad for the Tranny. If you just floor it from a stop, you should be able to break the tires loose. There may be something wrong with your car

yes. PLEASE dont do that....for the love of god..dont
you need to torque-brake it aka foot on brake (in Drive) then rev it up (i dont know how high the stall speed is)...then let off the brake
