But I don't think the rain will do it. I might have to wait for the road to freeze first.

My stock 77 will burn out on dry road just by power braking. They break loose about 3500 rpm's. If you can't then try a steep hill, stop with nose up and power brake and let gravity help.

Try this !

Consume 2 more six's and then open the radiator drain for 30 seconds or untill the puddle reaches the outside of your front tire's then very carefully move up approx. 12 feet then make sure a loved one IS NOT IN FRONT OF YOU,

NOW APPLY THE BRAKE [left foot] THEN STOMP ON THE LONG SKINNY PEDAL ON THE RIGHT [right foot]

Works every time!

Several ways to burn it in an auto, - load the rears, get into a U turn where the weight is sideways, then stomp the gas in the last half of the turn. Suggest an open parking lot untill you master this one. Put it into reverse and roll slowly backwards, shift into first, once the shift COMPLETES (if you like your trans in one peice and working) with the weight transfered to the rear and just into first, stomp it, that'll burn 'em

What's odd is a 20 year old kid calling someone a 20 year old kid.
