Okay well even those that are subscribed in this thread wrote that they question the V6 Camaro's ability to spin tires.

Well I remember when I had cheap tires that it was easy to roast tires, then I bought the ZR's that I have now and now it is more difficult.

You might as well upgrade the clutch when you replace that one.

lol, you should rotate the tires, you must have one tire with a lot less tread on it now lol.

Yup, a v6 can toast tires pretty good. I have gone through a couple of tires myself in my 3.8. Even my new pirelli tires roast if i do it right. Although it no longer chirps.

Buffalo02Z28... Go ask Musicman for a race. His little 3800 would give your almighty LS1 a good run if not beat the pants off of it...

If your car is an auto, I can stay right on your *** no problem now
