Stupid newbie question regarding peeling off...

Okay, here it goes, can you do two black marks when peeling off if you don't have a LSD?

I think not because of my experience. With an open diff there's always one wheel getting all the power.

But the salesman told me yeah sure, you can do two long black marks for about as long as you want.

Can anyone confirm what's what?

LSD = two spinning rear tires.
No LSD = 1

Pretty sure the car uses the brakes to brake the wheel that spins faster. Can you make 11s? Yes. Can you power out of a tight corner and not smoke the inside tire? Not so much...

Yep, years of experience tell me the same thing.

Yep, salesman told me about electronic something-something that allows the car to make 11s. Need more information on that.
