I understand there is a technique where you hold down the brake, this will lock the front wheels and let the back wheels spin against the smaller rear brake pads. Can someone please explain how to do this. Do I hold the break pedal to the floor? Should I leave the shifter in first gear? Thanks for the help
Back up for 30 or 40 feet and drop the car in 1st gear, floor it and hold on! Watch the rev limiter and feather the go pedal. When you hold the brakes you are eating them up. If that doesnt bother you ok. If you dont want to wear them out do the J drop method mentioned above..

get 342 gears and you will not have to do a break torque. Its a shame the c5 came with 273 gears and now you have to learn how to do a break torque.

WOW!

More people have viewed this post than any of my other post, even the one where I gave away a Predator tuner. Let’s see if I can break 2000.

I’m thinking about gitting the Tornado how much HP do your think I can pick up.

I’m also thinking about putting a spoiler on my coupe what do you guys think.

I also just got this electric supercharge off of eBay. What do you think 400 RWH.


And for you **** retentive grammar freaks this is for you .
