    Depends what sort of use you're talking. We've all pulled handbrake turns in the snow without detonating the centre diff but then wheel speed and length of use will have an impact on that!

        ok maybe should re phrase, how much abuse with a hydraulic handbrake will a torsen rear and centre diff take before it dismantles its self

          Dont you put the clutch in to start a drift on the hand brake and then let the clutch go? Im guessing this way you only kill the tyres.

          I keep wondering how WRC cars start off the line they seem to have their clutch as part of the hydraulic handbrake, and when the let that go they start off the line. Im guessing its a hydraulic clutch aswell, could something like this be done with an S2 or am I completly wrong?
