Just want to point out that tires and setup makes a difference when it comes to roasting tires. My '93 with decent 235 85 R16's just... won't really break them loose on dry pavement. It makes more top-end power, though. Last time I tried to break them loose, I just got wheel hop instead.
'92 with banks and stock pump, and worn 285 75 r16...will. it seems to pull harder off the line(banks turbo spools quicker) but makes less power up top due to the smaller pump. Of course, the lack of good tread probably accounts for that as well...
On slightly snowy ground, it's kind of interesting in my '93. Going along in 3rd or 4th, floor it and it won't break tires loose right away... wait for a couple of seconds for it to hit 2k RPM and build some boost... and /then/ it just breaks them loose. Really interesting behavior, but basically what I saw in my dyno graph - hits 2k and the torque just spikes.
