well yeah I can go through all the gears in my altima spinning the tires if i want. I'm just saying, how the heck do you guys drive that you are losing traction so bad? If your dumping from 6k and cant hook up, dont do it.

you guys are funny..hahhaha...didnt get to finish my post due to being at work and my break ending... i dont spin the tires in 4th until about 12psi... for suspension i have kyb agx...fm springs..racing beat front and rear lower control braces...fm butterfly and rails...fm full bushing kit...konig helium in gold with falken 615s 205 50 15.. camber clips.. im sure there is something else i havent mentioned... camber is near perfect
act 1.8 hd clutch.. 1.8 lightned flywheel..
ps yes it was cold.. but i had driven for about 15 miles on the highway.. the tires should have been hot by then..i hope...
the real problem is that now that i have this power i cant really take off as fast as i want to...not that the car is out of control...its just i want to go faster...

Lol, i can spin first, and second if its really cold.
I remember right when i got my turbo in, it was about 5 deg. and i hit second and lit em up.
But lately its been warmer, and instead of spinning tires, i slip my clutch =(.
Oh well, haha.

I'd have to disagree about well mannered, it was a downpore one day and I was easing the throttle but also trying to get out of someone's way and spun it like a top down the road. fortunately it went straight and I regained control after sliding in beside a mail box on the shoulder. However with my new tires I can only get them to slip in wet weather while in reverse. On a stock miata that is.

I have a picture somewhere of a bright yellow camaro with vtec stickers on it that I found in a Dennys parking lot.
It is sad but true... its on placed up there as some amazing power thing... when its really not.
Sigh ricers...
