Have you ever driven a Syncro? There is NO way you can chirp the tires (unless you lock the brakes!). Now, say you multiply the power input by 4x... this would be like taking 1/2 the weight and 2x the power, this is right where the 158hp Passat Syncro would be. I have driven a modified Passat Syncro with close to 200hp and the most you can get out of it is a very short and brief "chirp". The Syncro system works remarkably well! In order to see a real smoke show you need a Porsche 911 C4 - they wouldn't let me take one of those for a test drive!
