Full lock donuts were in the snow, not on pavement... The car will do axis spins instead of the rear bias style ones on rear lock.
I've only done dry pavement donuts with full rear and on super bald tires (otherwise I avoid donuts because tires are waaaaay too expensive)

The stock STi tune is just horrible, and I think one of the reasons that people are disapointed in the STi's performance when they take test drives is the fact that the car isn't broken in and doesn't feel nearly as great as it does when it's fully broken in.
If you compare my car (Stock with a COBB AP and GST tune and a catback + seat) to the equal stock STi, it's like night and day difference. They don't feel like the same cars at all. The car REALLY opens up when tuned properly, and when broken in correctly with some decent miles on it. I always let people drive my car when the complain about how STi's aren't all that... Then they drive my car and say "WOW, that felt soooo different then the STi that I drove". When you start playing with the DCCD the car shines even more... If you ever get a chance to drive a modded STi, do so! It will open your eyes up especially if you drove a stock one and weren't impressed. Two totally different cars for sure.
