<3 Bridgestone...

Maybe you need to work on learning to drive your car... Easy on the gas and you'll be fine... Be calm with the steering wheel, you'll be fine.

And for the record... My V6 WILL spin both tires even with the open differential that's in it currently

Also... 2nd gear start is only in the 4L60E automatic cars... Obviously you won't have it if your car is a standard.

And no worries DK... My V6 is very legit and does very legit burnouts if I choose to do one.

And yes, my LS1 Z28 with exhaust, Mass Air, and my lead foot will leave bacon strips at 40MPH! It's called a clutch dump! I have done it many times next to mustangs and ricers that think they can hang with me. Usually after they see the *** kick out at that speed they leave me alone!
And I wasn't saying that you were bragging! I just thought the "daddies" car part of it was funny! Not trying to be offensive just trying to have a laugh!
I do have a serious question though! How much HP is your 94 putting down? Have you run it down a track yet?

Now I feel bad haha Sorry dude, it's hard to interpret sarcasm, or how serious someone is over the internet. Also, I took the spinning at 40mph thing as ya know, like doing a burnout, I could see dumping the clutch and getting a couple discrete blackmarks, but not lighting the tires up haha. And for the 94, it's a sore subject at the moment, unfortunately I have to start a new build

I had a friend with a 200 ss that drove it though ohio winters that got 3 feet of snow and it didn't matter how he drove it. Its took him 4 hours to get home that would normaly take 15 min on a nice day. lmao Mine doesn't come out of the garage unless the sun is shining. Thats mainly cause the salt on the road will destroy a camaro fast or any car with in a couple years if not garaged and washed weekly.

My only option was cooper cobras as well so I decided to look online for a tire supplier. tirerack was selling discontinued kumhos so I picked up a full set for $480 after shipping and handling and tax. another $120 for mount/balance and alignment and now I can't seem to even get the rear end to break free unless it's raining and that's only if I gas it from a stop and turn at the same time. It starts to grip the road with no counter steer or acceleration adjustments at all though in about one second lol.

Were they ASXs? I just got a new set on mine too and they are Kuhmo ASXs and they grip like freakin' crazy! I can't spin near as far as I used too with the Yokohamas!

Lol! It's ok man! I'm guilty of the same thing! And yeah it is hard to interpret stuff that is usually done by hearing so no hard feelings. And no, not like a huge burnout, but It will get pretty sideways. And that really sucks! What happened? If you don't mind me asking...
