I always thought that it was the driver wheel, but when I do burnouts I lay rubber with both of 'em. :shrug

I belive there in no specific drive wheel. The reason there seems to be on rear wheel cars especially is because the torque motion from the drive shaft creates a reaction force which causes more weight on one side of the car which would allow the other to spin more freely with high power. I dont know if it applys the same on FWD seeing that the torque is more front to rear instead of left to right.:thumbsup

Just because it's an open diff does not mean that only one wheel will spin. Jack your car up and start it, throw it in gear, see what happens.

If both tires are getting equal traction, OR you get one tire spining really fast then both will spin. When I jacked my car up after the swap, the drivers side tire turned fast and the other just turned a little.
