Message :The twisting would come from when all the power is delivered to one wheel, like when you see a camaro do a burnout and it only spins the right side. The supra has a limited slip that puts power to both wheels so its evened out. Just my thoughts on it.
:

twisting a frame is old school. anything with torque.
if the wheels are spinning, then all that torque is being dissapated as smoke. so the frame and the car doesnt see it.

what twists frames;
. mad torque (400ftlbs + will twist many frames, but not all)
. having a car that has a full frame. Z32s, Supras are unibody.
. having massive traction. when the wheels hook, the rest of the car takes on all that torque. it either responds by twisting the car, or something breaks (motor mounts go first, ususally).
