Physics. When accelerating forward, weight transfers to the rear driving
wheels, increasing traction. When accelerating in reverse, weight tranfers
forward, decreasing traction (at the rear driving wheels). A front drive
vehicle would actually get better traction launching in reverse.

<snip> just wondering.. How the hell can the dakota leave marks in Reverse,
but not
in drive? is it some kinda stupid computer program that cuts engine power
upon lost of traction? because i know when i rains and i lose traction,
