The '71 smokes them good (235's) and the '84 smokes a little and barks into 2nd (255's). The 84 and the '71 ought to do a little more come spring time!

it doesn't smoke them, but it doesn't give me whiplash, so it just sticks and grabs.

Depends, If I trounce it off the line I do quite the smoke show. If I ease into first then trounce on it it starts to get squirley at the top of first gear. Now with the old 225/70r15's it was far more squirley then it is now and smoke shows in first were almost at will. The bigger meats calmed it down quite a bit.

If I drop my clutch over 2500 RPM the tires just burn up. I can get chirps going into 4th gear.

Nothing. What'd you expect from a smog-choked, automatic, slower than a Ford F-350, 3.08 rear-geared, peanut cammed, Comp Controlled QJet, 305ci, California Corvette?
It gets the looks though! I just always take it easy and make people think I'm not racing them. :D

A little spin and then full force launch -- I am still nursing the bump in the back of my head from the carb. rebuild.

Yeah, Mine will light 'em up off the light, chirp it in 2nd and sometimes 3rd.
Its a funny feeling though...I mean, it lights them up...sitting there spinning, then when they grab, it takes off like a rocket. Very cool feeling.

The maco with the 383 stroker would spin on command. Now the engine is out and we are building a blown big block for it.
The 94 will spin if you turn the traction control off.

Re: does ur vette do BURN-OUTS ? (Eric 70)
Yes, mine will light up pretty good if I get into the gas and engage the clutch quicker than normal. Try to avoid this as I know it is hard on the driveline components. However.....sometimes my maturity level isn't as high as it should be and I like the sound and the seat of the pants kick when the tires do stick and the car rushes forward! April isn't too far away.....
