Which tire spins

One tire burn-outs are done by the passengers side tire - right? I am just double checking before I mount my battery on that side of the trunk.

The only burn outs I've ever done included both rear tires..
I think passenger side... Not 100% sure though, but I can tell you an easy way to check /forums/images/icons/wink.gif.

From a stoplight, if I lay into the pedal, both of my tires spin...
You have a trac-loc... W/ an open differential only one spins.

Just tryin' to learn, sorry.. hee
Normally, only the passenger will spend. If I get on mine enough, though, it will eventually have both spinning /forums/images/icons/cool.gif. I'm no rear end expert, but am told that's normal even with an open rear.

I like that hood scoop.

Man everyone has pics of their Mustangs and I don't yet! Need to borrow that digital camera
If you have an open differential, the right side (passengers)tire will be the one spinning, or smoking depending on your torque output ;)

5 speed, 4.11s, 10.13 in the quarter mile.
Oh wait, that was a Sammy Haggar song...
My old "Boss 429" had the battery mounted in the trunk, on the pass/side. When I used to drag race, used the same thory, off set the drivers weight.
Hahah, yeah my little 6-cylinder won't smoke them, but it'll spin them like crazy for sure.

You might have to solve that "One tire spin" thing, hehehe.
