Agreed. However I had just switched mine and had to get on it for entering a highway from a side road. Eased around corner in first switched to second and proceded to burn the gunk of the tires all the way to redline. Third was fine.

Now I have to deal with the squishy sidewalls, flexable tread blocks, and bits of ice on the road. Spinning is fairly easy when you forget the grip level.

Wow.. I can easily break the traction of the cheap-hard-compound-high-sidewall tires in the v6 model with an automatic transmission and traction control ON... Hmm...

So funny today. A lady pulls up to me in a new mustang, looks over and says, "Nice car!" I'm like, "It's just a rental." She says "Mine's just an owner. 'wink' " I said "This thing is way too slow for me" lol... then I told her what I really drive.. And she actually knew what it was..

Then she peeled out.. ROFL

Maybe 300 WHP does this:

Breaking traction / losing traction / peeling out can be done in stock form under a hard launch. Rev the motor, drop the clutch and you will squeel for a quick second, but thats about it.

Yep, did this once. My drivetrain then told me that it would be breaking up with me if I did it again, so I haven't.

All it takes for me is a hard launch and I spin the front partically through first gear

The last car I had was a Mustang which could peel out relatively easily because it was RWD. AWD seems like it would take a WHOLE LOT more hp to burn out.
But how much?

Maybe do it this way...
If you can peel out during a standing start, post your latest dyno result or a list of mods or whatever.

Sorry, I missed this post when it was in it's prime......

What you need is this

HAHAHAHa

SoaReS · 11-28-2005, 05:47 PM

just for you info, to "peel out" or burn out, it takes torque, not so much horsepower.

**Chris05STi** · 11-29-2005, 04:46 AM

Hmm, so thats why my Camaro does that so easily? Ah HAH!

SoaReS · 11-29-2005, 02:59 PM

hey this thread bring back good memories.

When i was 15 one of my good friends and I used to go to my grandmas house because she had a pool. And they would go to sleep pretty early so i would take the keys to the minivan and whip that around the neighborhood

I still have a vivid picture in my mind of my revving it all the way up in nuetral, and then just dumping it into drive, and doing atleast a 20 foot burnout. Anyone know a site that hosts videos where i could post it up???????

**Chris05STi** · 11-29-2005, 03:20 PM

Here or streetfire site.

I am not sure if this is in the right place or not, and if it isn't, i apologize.

Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to do a burnout in an 2005 STi. I know that when the E-brake is pulled, it disengages the rear dif. So, in theory, you would (should) be able to do a FWD burnout in these cars with the e-brake enganged. I have not tried it yet, as i am a wuss and do not feel like buying a new drivetrain for my car.

Anyway, any input would be nice. I may be way off base here, and if so, let the flaming ensue. doesnt bother me a bit! haha
