Even if you manage to bypass the SST you will still have to deal with the LSD trying to even out the traction unless you can manage to have both rear wheels spinning exactly the same speed.
Go buy a Mustang.
What about the LSD.....

Try again.
I've hit 250km/h in mine.
Where do you draw the line for "High speed"?
When the Miata is listed as the worlds best selling sports car, we qualify.

If you're doing a burnout you're most likely going to be on the same type of surface with both wheels.... but I don't know that is even a concern normally. Like if you have one wheel off the shoulder of a road (or rumble strips for some people) the LSD doesn't have an issue compensating for the most part.

Compensating while moving yes. Sitting there with the brakes on smoking tires it will struggle a bit. Just simply not the car for this sort of activity.

Absolutely no issue with the factory LSD and doing burnouts in this car. No struggle at all. It's a great car for that type of activity.

Never tried it so will take your word on it. Most I have done is a little squawk. Just know that when I get into snow and the wheels start spinning the diff adjusts power so fast that a burnout seems improbable.

What do you mean adjusts power so fast? I have never had an issue with it being unpredictable or anything, it just works. Shit, practicing a good launch will make you spin easily enough I don't see how a burnout seems improbable.

Drive one in the snow and see what I mean.
A "good" launch should have no spin.
I came out of a long line of muscle cars that could do true burnouts none of this brake stand shit that passes now.

Woah, we got a badass here.

But, you said "by definition", I provided the definition. The general consensus is that the twins are slow, so...

I have driven mine in snow.

Most people don't have slicks on this car, and the powerband makes it so you will most likely have spin to stay in the powerband. Also tends to be easier on the driveline on most average summer tires. You will either spin or bog 9 times out of ten with this car it seems.

Idk about your muscle cars.... I have only had Gto, camaro, corvette etc.... I think what you consider a "brakestand" is a burnout. A lot of drag racers have line locks to lock the front wheels for their burnouts, and you couldn't stay in a waterbox without using brakes anyways. Well, most cars couldnt I guess. You'll always be creeping forward.
