I watch videos of your car and pretend I'm driving it. Only when I'm in the car, I'm wearing a red dress and purple lipstick. My head is covered by a pink bonnet, and Kirsten Dunst is singing Rush songs from the passenger seat.

Nah, just kidding.

But woulding that be cool?

If you pre-mix and run the metering oil pump lines to drip on the rear tires, it could happen.

i guess it would be tourque more than hp

anyways: how much power/what kind of mods would be necessary to break the tires loose while already rolling? IE, not just popping the clutch from a stop.

just curious. thanks.
I think thats the definition of torque, better get a v8 LOL

and you can break them loose by nailing it with a aluminum flywheel and 4.88s. least i could with my 13B streetport back in the day.

in my fiero with 170 TQ and 150 HP in 2nd gear I could lose the tail pretty easy if I just floored it.. and that would involve wheelspin
but it was REALLY torquey, and didn't even need revs to do that... I could do it at like 2000RPM

if it's raining, my cavy will break them loose in first or second below 40kph... just gun it
again, torquey
if you don't have an LSD it's probably a little easier than if you do.

Okay, I forget that my humor is screwed up and doesn't work with people.

But on a serious note, I do really like your car AJC13B. And I do watch the street and drag videos of your car a lot.

Mmmm...

Ten second streetable first gen...
