well i have probably held it for a good 20 seconds in a donut, and for length prob about 40 feet or so, but it didn't leave a mark so i couldn't really see how long, thats a guess

the fc really sticks to the road, and unless you are
reving and dumping the clutch it isn't going to spin much.
as for doing a brake stand I could burn tires off the rims,
and leave 2 nice black lines for 30 to 40 feet before hitting
2nd gear. but that's just me, and it might have
something to do with the 20b Like I said the fc really
sticks to the road, better than I expected even with the
20b's torque and hp.

neither do I but since the old stock sized tires are old
and cracking up I thought I would burn them off before
getting new ones, once I pay the big dollars for the
new rubber there is no chance that I will be burning
them off, but I have to say getting rid of the old tires is kind of fun

well you are correct tires are expensive but im 19 and this car is in my parents name so they fix it and until they sign it over to me they fix everything with it so if the tires go 7,000 miles sooner i could care less, but when im older i prob won't be doing it. but you do make a good point

Now there is a good reason to burn them off. I kept the pair of tires I flat-spotted. One of these days I am gonna slap them on the rears and go fry them off. Gonna take some vid to and post that. I cant think of anything cooler then a vid of a 10th AE roastin the tires.

Keep em spinning!

im 19 and the car is in my parents name, why the hell do they pay for all the stuff you do. My parents told me, anything and everything you pay for on this car, the only thing my parents payed for was the sales tax when i bought the thing. Everything else was payed by me. It gives you more respect for the car because its your money in it, its not someone elses. Besides I think at 19 you can get a job and pay for your car stuff.

I have video of me doing a standing burnout, then braking slowly out over 80feet. It's vhs, so I will have to convert it.

well yea that is a good point, but they have this idea that its "THEIR" car even though they NEVER drive it so until its MY car they can pay for eveything, and no it doesn't make me treat the car and worse, i spin my tires very rarely and i treat this car like its a brand new viper
