I have a quick question, I love corvettes, but I never knew if automatic cars like the C6 or C5 corvettes can burn out? Can they? If so, how?
I mean, when your sitting still in your car, without the car moving an inch and all that white smoke comes up, is that possible on automatic transmission?
Thanks

I like the information on upgrading the gearing in the A4 to get more break loose power, but I don't want to burn out everytime I take off, I want to plant and roll. I think that I will end up doing a DIFF replacement, but I am not sure what gear to do...3:15 in currently, where to go...that is another post.

Oh, I power brake mine and leave the rubber.

If could do all my mods all over again, I would have done gears and stall first, then blower, shift kit et al after.
