I suspect Crocamonga will be along any minute to seal the deal.....

Even when it had the original 2.59 gears, my 92 A4 LT1 would easily smoke 'em if I merely hit the gas too hard from a standstill. Now with 3.54 gears, I can light 'em up even if I'm rolling at 20 mph! :hurray:

Re: Will your car burn rubber?.....
When I had the 255 Yokohama A520's on the back it'd smoke them all day
When I had the 275 Goodyear GSC's on the back it was even worse
..but with the Cooper ZHP01's it gives me a little chirp and takes off
this is on my '86 with almost 8 good cylinders :lolg:

Yes, ALOT. Its a 92 6spd, so maybe thats why.
From a stand still, It won't break the tires loose until 3-4k, then it just goes loose.
2nd gear it immediately brakes loose.
IF I dump from any RPM above idle it will just sit there and burn.

Burning rubber
I have a 2013 grand sport with automatic transmission. OK you can stop laughing now. Is it possible to burn rubber with this car. I just got back from the Ron Fellows school in Nevada and had no problem burning out with their grand sports with manual transmission. Same engine. I had no problem getting rubber in first, and second. I tried my car with and without Traction control and tried it in sports mode first gear. Still no rubber. 430 HP I should get something.

And not only that, but he's asking about a C6 in the C4 forums. Runflat, this should make good "fodder" for the C4 lovers...the C6 GS won't burn out!! 
You should get something, but I suspect it was your "technique". My C6 ('06, 6-speed) would BARELY do a burn out the first couple times that I tried. It was freakin' pathetic. I turned off TC rev'ed it to about 3500, dumped the clutch and it spun for about 20'. I was mortified.
WHAT HAPPENED: the instant the car started to go, the Active Handling sensed some "yaw" and pretty quickly shut down the party. I later learned about pushing and holding the AH/TC button for a (yawn) 10 seconds to completely disable all TC and AH. Once I did that, the thing would burn tire (and wheel hop like a mother) for miles.
Turn everything, ALL OFF, and try again. IB4TL

The needle on the Butt-Hurt-O-Meter will peg, and it will start smoking.
And this is still open??? If Crocamonga has to come back, he won't be happy!!!!
I'm back...Crock can go back in his pond...until the next time.
