Default First Burn out !

Finally gave in to temptation today and did a burn out. For 3 months I have controlled all my urges to spin the tires, come sideways out of a parking lot, and hit 100+ on the interstate. But today I let the temptation of 400 hp get to me . . . and oh wow. I have not done any mods except a blackwig and this thing is unbelievable. Just thought I had driven powerful cars before.

Active handling control on or off when you did this?

I didn't realize that made a difference.

I can't resist. Don't exactly go out intentionally heating the tires, but I spin off the line occasionally and from 1-2 frequently!
