Default Odd question

How many of you out there have NOT done a Burnout with the vette? I know it sounds odd but I can't remember doing one since I bought the car, does that mean there is something wrong with me :lol: :lol:

I don't like to do them because I don't have a line-lock. But that's not to say I've never done a burnout... :D :D ...and that goes for my truck too :lol:

I haven't done one either. Used to do them in my Camaro and Mustang, not the Vette though. Tires are too expensive to just roast them to smell the rubber. :D

I haven't done a burn out in the vette but that's not to say that I don't hear the tires break loose every once in a while. :D

I won't do one with the brakes locked since I don't have line loc, but I'll stomp the gas and spin tires from a standstill every now and then.

The thought of road filth getting on the rear lower rocker makes me want to :U

It's hard enough taking it out on a street to drive it, but I do. :chevy :D

:iagree:
And it seems the ASR is kicking in more and more often lately, since my rear tires are getting down into the "not much life left" zone. I gotta be REAL careful accelerating around a corner now. :D
