Yeah - it's quite easy. In fact that was the biggest reason to go to bigger tires. I was getting so frustrated that every time I launched moderately hard from a light I spun my tires into the intersection. I don't like attracting that much attention... since I put 285's on it hooks up very well. I can still spin those, though.
I saw that thread too and was tempted to find an empty parking lot somehwere to see if I could smoke up (the tires, that is)
Really? I couldn't tell if you had a manual/auto? Any mods?
I can't do it. Every time I punch it (even without TC on), it just takes off with great acceleration. I've got the throttle delay that everyone notes (no tunes loaded). I was just curious if anyone was able to punch it from a dead stop and have it burn-out. I've tried a couple of times in an empty parking lot. Just not enough hp/low end torque to do it with the v6/auto. Even when I brake torque it. At least on my car..
DanteMo, Yeah - I didn't think it would do it until it happened one day. I have the manuel 5sp, so as I waited to turn left on a busy 6-lane I was anticipating a whole in traffic, bumping the throttle - probably bumped it up to about 2500 when my chance came. I floored it and feathered in the clutch, trying to keep RPMs at 2500 to 3000. Next thing I know my tires are compaining loudly and I'm sliding sideways into the left center lane trailing smoke - it was a great Bullitt move! After I went home and changed my pants I went out to try it again (on a deserted street), thinking it must have been a fluke. Nope - I could do it every time - straightline or turning, it didn't matter. I don't have any power mods yet; I've got two GT mufflers "in the mail" and I'm really anxious to get a CAI and a tune as well. This thing is a blast - V6 or not.
ORIGINAL: DanteMo The exhaust and cai will hopefully make it sound/perform even better!!
Yeah, in reading what others have said about the tune alone I'm really anxious to give these things a try. I'm hoping my muffs get here soon... They came out of their box in transit and I've been working w/the freight company to find them. The driver's side muffler made here last Friday (a week late) and supposedly the other one is on it's way. I was contemplating making my own CAI, but was having trouble getting specs. Then I saw that one that afixer posted (New CAI for the V6 (no tune required)) and it's pretty close to what I was thinking of, so I may wait for it to be released. Much fun!

I hear ya - and I do agree to an extent. If I tried hard enough I could make my 1.6L '77 Chevette "burnout" on demand, and get a second gear scratch to boot. (haha!)

It's easy to burn out in a manual.... no matter what the engine. I did a 10 second burn out at a light since my little boy was with mom, following me back from the dealer. He loved it. :)
Seriously, though. Don't do it often, or you'll prematurely wear your tires.
