Car owner here. I don't think this is right.

Yeah, this argument would only apply to all-wheel-drive cars that are powerful enough to burnout on all four wheels.

It actually applies in a few cases:

* All wheel drive cars, with all-wheel braking

* Two-wheel drive cars, with braking systems that are primarily biased towards the front.

Both cases rely on either all four wheels or accel/decel or only two
