I can, A4, 275 Riken Raptors, 323's, and stock except for a few bolt ons. Depends on what surface your on. It'll spin a lot easier on something like a brick street compared to hot sticky asphalt in the middle of summer

I just tried the neutral drop, spun them for half a second at 15 mph in my V6, if you still can't do it in your V8, well, I will trade you.

LOL I wish I could be there to see the look on your parents face when you try to explain to them why the car wont move after you revved it up and slammed it into drive.

You actually don't understand that I would love for that to happen, gives me a reason to get rid of it. The T/A needs some love lol. I hope no one sees this when I go to sell it lol.

My 99 A4 bone stock with 130k on it could break them loose by just punching it. I had GU5 package though.

Even when mine was 100% I had no problem breaking the tires loose.

My 98' has a a4 with 2.73's with crusty *** tires. . . . I can not keep traction. The first time I ran my car, I just hit it to the floor. My car went side ways and fishtailed pretty hard. Then I burned my tires half way down the 1/4 mile track. . . . . I ran a 17 something. . . . . .

I have to feather my throttle to run my car.

I can stall my car up and launch, spins the tires.
Punch it from a stop without stalling and it spins em.
Even breaks traction a bit when shifting to second.

Its stock, and has the poo.73's lol

I felt like an idiot today pulling out of an intersection, the road was wet from it raining previously and when I punched it I just crawled out with the one tire spinning like mad Sigh. I hate open differentials.
