I guess you think its some kind of magic chamois....Ok.

Its sound advice for any vehicle but do what you want kids. Just relating my experience.

I was just messin around with the guy... So the only way to lock up the brakes with the line lock it to hit the switch from wht you said it cannot engage otherwise... I would just be very carefull making this product, as much as i love the idea you have to remember that people drive this car almost everyday, it just has to be safe is all i am saying and from wht you are saying it will be so im all for it!!

I might be interested but... isn't think kinda worthless if you don't have an LSD? I mean... you'd just sit there burning out one tire... no? I know somebody asked this a few posts back, but there were no follow-up answers that were convincing...

No, if you drop the clutch both tires will light.

I don't quite understand how that is possible... one tire will invariably have less traction than the other, leading to more power going it's way, leading to less traction, and a vicious cycle of the one-wheel burnout...

I don't have much experience, though, so can somebody please give me a good explanation as to why this doesn't happen in real life?
