yep...try that on a front-wheel drive vehicle. or one with low torque.
i haven't tried it yet but i assume the emergency brake only grabs the front wheels which means that. with a little practice, it should do a 1-lane 180. anybody play with that one yet???

E-brake only holds rear wheels on any vehicle. On a FWD car, pulling the e-brake and popping the clutch will only cause the front to spin. I did this to heat up tires on my old eclipse at the strip.
To do a nice 180, get the car up to about 20mph plus and with a combo turn / e brake, the car will spin around. Even more fun in the rain, empty parking lots, and no cars.
RWD, just turn and give it some gas. I dont' do this often as the crossfire rear tires are $$$$.
