Tip: Don't do it because you could damage your AWD system.

Definately recommend not doing it on pavement. Dirt or snow would be the better choices.

do get it on video though

its not extremely difficult. you have to do 3 things fast though. first get going about 20mph, push clutch in, quickly snap up ebrake and turn hard either way, quickly release the ebrake, release clutch, then floor the gas while keeping the wheel turned(but not all the way). it is really just a quick pull on the ebrake, enough to get you to break loose.

I quick flick will get you to break as well. Roll in, depress clutch, jerk the wheel to opposite of desired donut direction, once the suspension is loaded, jerk the other way while releasing the clutch and applying heavy throttle. Do it on slick surface dirt or snow.
