Front wheel drive donuts

My friend keeps insisting that front wheel drive cars CAN do donuts, i really doubt this. I mean sure they can do a 180 with the ebrake, but no 360, its just impossible to lose the back wheel traction fast enough with front wheel drive cars , right?

thanks in advance

the max will do donuts like crazy like that. . . .i've done it before but i'm scared that something might happen with the wheels or something because the sound was like the wheels were about to fall off. . . .
oh yeah, and once you do a few donuts, stop the car and get out. . . you'll feel like you want to throw up. . . reverse donuts make you dizzy like you wouldn't believe.

I've never done it in my Max. But, a 1988 Plymouth Grand Voyager will do crazy reverse donuts in a freshly plowed field....

feshly plowed field??? I've done mine on a CVS parking lot tires smoked like crazy too. . . but i'm sure that doing this to your car is really not a good idea. . . i've only done it once and won't do it again.

When they hear the screeching, smell the smoke, and see your huge "combat" wing whirling around...they'll come running.

if you're going into a turn at 40-50mph, just pull your ebrake. I can guarantee at least a 720..

Dat **** turns them on, eh? If I start flashing my neons they might think I'm a UFO.

Actually, I was kind of hoping the little old ladies would roll out in their wheelchairs...

You are right, at 40-50 MPH pulling the handbrake and turning the car steering wheel will not get you to do a 360 but will put your car into a sideways slide. I've done a lot of stupid **** like reverse to drive on a hill pulling the e-brake etc... Use the above advice, turn steering wheel put in reverse and floor it. Easist way to do 360's, 720's is in snow.

i just got me some new tires so . . . .no more stupid ****. . . .no more donuts, no more e-brake, no more anything. . . normal driving from now on

BTW: if you're going to attempt any of this stuff. . . do it on an empty lot or something. . . don't do something stupid to put others in danger.

someone in jersey let me have your max for 2 minutes. . . i'll show you donuts on a dry parking lot you can video tape the harrassment of your max and put it on the .org so everyone can say how dumb that was Anyone?

But I guess to answer the original question:
Yes, you can do donuts with a FWD.
