      Also, the wheel spinning turns twice as fast for the same driveshaft speed!

        Just make sure the people who are watching are on the correct side.

          I went to a burnout competition last year with an open diff box CV. Blew the tires right off of it... at one point it was actually spinning both, and the event MC told me my "posi" was going out.

          To be honest, I don't care how many tires are smoking (as long as there is at least one).

              Its possible to get both spinning on an open dif, but i usually get them spinning on a wet road making a left turn (taking weight off the torque side) kind off fun when it starts going sideways

                  Right, in the event one either hits something, or is observed by the arm of the law. Not highly recommended on public roadways.
