If you don't do this, you'll end up just burning one rear tire because of the open differential.
Not if you're gooooood.

I could get both wheels lit up in my 2.2L 100hp open-diffed GMC Sonoma... you have to roll at maybe 5mph, jam the brakes to push the nose down and lighten the rear while spooling the motor up, lay the power down to light them up, and then re-stab the brakes to hold the front wheels in place. If you can get both of them going, you should be able to keep them both going... the hard part is getting them both to break free in the first place.

Of course that requires some practice to get the timing down... so not only are we talking about inadvisable things, we're talking about doing them repeatedly!
