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:

Re: Odd question (droeme)
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:

Re: Odd question (JSA 007)
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

Re: Odd question (1990CORVETTE)
i've peeled out many of times, but i've never actually tried to just spin the tires as long as i could. we all know that someone whose name starts with "m" and rhymes with "ojo" never has. :jester

I never have...
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

Re: Odd question (hngacurv)
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.
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
