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!
