Re: driving awd

doing a burnout in an awd car is incredibly bad for the differential.

Re: driving awd

odds are unless you got shitty tires you're not going to do good burnouts in a lancer. besides, the purpose of awd is to get better traction and take off, it defeats that purpose when you do burnouts.
