The torque converters of Two Automatics would do this. And no, you are right both engines need to be ON.

What I mean is, you may need to somehow link the two outputs together so that the transmission of power is equal to the front and rear. If the rear is pushing slightly harder in a turn than the front it would spin out. Think about a motorcycle with the front brake on slightly and full throttle in a turn. Also on a similar topic someone mentioned running one engine off in neutral. I don't claim to fully understand how auto transmissions work but isn't it hard on them to move at high speed with the engine off? When I drove a tow truck we had to pick up the drive wheels. I think it has something to do with the auto transmission's pump being driven by the engine. -----------------------REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING---------------------- ------ Questions?
