Please teach me how to drive....
So, I got this 03Z and it needs tires, mostly fronts. I want to sacrifice the rears to the Driveway Gods - My Driveway is 400’ long ;+).
I’m new to these cars so be gentile…
How do I seal my driveway with GoodYear rubber and NOT kill my car with WheelHop? I’ve read the Owner Manual about Traction Control / Competition Mode and it’s kind of vague.
I FINALLY got to take a real ride tonight (40* @ 6AM – 75* @ 4PM in Central PA – WTF!). When I got home I tried to do a nice long burn-out but I got WheelHop – TC was OFF. I have close friends that have destroyed cars from WheelHop so I shut it down.
Please teach me how to eliminate my rear tires – while Pi$$ing my neighbors off – and not wreck the car I just bought.
I Just Need some coaching here. This should be fun...Right?
Thanks

To the OP.
Turn off the traction control completely. Put the car in 2nd gear, rev it to 4K and dump the clutch. Immediately hop on the brake while keeping the car around 5k. Modulate the brake so that you aren’t stopping wheelspin but aren’t moving forward. Slowly ease off the brake to crawl while boiling the rears. Crawl down the driveway at 2-5mph killing tires.
Let off brake completely and ride a rolling burnout out to 70mph mph on greasy tires if you’re into man ****. But you’ll probably end up in the yard lol.

I'm not trying to 'ruin' my car - just the old, dry tires. That's the whole point - the car can easily overpower them and I just wanna have a little fun before they go in the dumpster. I have no experience with this, my other car is a manual G8 GXP - also suffers from serious wheel hop and I don't / can't beat on it because of that.
RSBeast... I'll try that. Thanks for the advice.

I thought the stereotype was the Q-Tip headed old dude who recently retired and now can finally afford a C5, but can barely get in and out of it....this kid is just a douche bag...

Start slow , get used to car ! If you have a place , play with popping clutch in first , shifting thru gears at of near red line etc ! Take your time !

These guys get it, and saved me from typing it. I was in the same boat when I bought my c5, roasted the 10 year old tires over the course of a month and put fresh ones ones. Give it another go, light em up!
