Default Is that clutch or tire smoke <sniff> clutch, definitely clutch!!

I've gotten pretty good at hanging the tail out on my S4 and now I can get the rears to spin in the dry as I'm going around a corner. The other day I was waiting for a small gap in traffic to turn in to my neighborhood and didn't watch the tach at all....reved up the car, launched hard left and spun the rear tires A LOT and then I smelled something....yeap clutch! Oops...gotta be more careful. This thing is so fun just stock!!

I think with a better clutch you could get the rears to smoke, especially if it was chipped!

It doesn't hurt it (the car) and it's a blast!
