Hell with an abusive enough launch, I can spin 4 tires.
I didn't want to mention this earlier, but now seems like a good time.
I can easily squeal my front tires, and roast them for a good 30ft, and one day, I decided to see what I could really do.
I chirped that sucker on a slight incline, but instead of holding it or letting off, I opened up the throttle and just tore up road until I hit second gear (or the awd kicked in, I don't really know) and got launched like a rocket.

Never did the rear tires squeal.
You have to consider if your torque distribution is working properly, and considering the whp of these things, a slightly modded X will only put 45h per wheel to the ground in low traction conditions.
If you are spinning all four, you have to be pushing a lot of power, or heck, abusing the hell out of a 5-speed.
