Sweet burnout... and with 20" wheels/tires. I think I've done a burnout once in the 3 1/2 years I've owned the car. Haha... Tires are expensive!

HAHA, my poor car does burnouts a couple times a week. I guess that is one good thing about stock wheels, tires are fairly cheap. The v8 just does them so easily its addicting.

This is my first auto with a v8, I have had a couple mustangs and a c5 corvette, but for some reason dumping the clutch seemed punishing to a car where a brake stand doesn't to me.

Thanks buddy. I know that vid sold a few TCs for PI. My car wouldn't break my tires loose for nothing before that mod. I went thru 2 sets of rears for every set of front tires for quite a while after I installed that thing. There's some so satisfying about being a juvinile delinquent hooner.
