Default Tire squeal

Hello Friends,
I installed a Vitesse Throttle Controller and the difference is night and day as far as response goes, very fun! Y'all may think I'm a kook, but I don't like the way the Hankook V12 tires don't make any noise when they break loose. I want to hear the tires scream when they break traction. Any suggestions? Thanks

Put a set of Bridgestone Pole Position RE050A's on it if you want to hear the tire loud barks of the 80's

You will have to work at it with a stock vette to get them to spin though.

I have 425 rwhp/rwtq, and all I get is a loud bark upshifting thru the 1st 4 gears.

They don't whine, they really make noise when you break traction with them.

My Michlen Pilot Super sports do not make any noise either , the only way I know they are spinning is the car gets loose out of the gate, the two black marks on the ground and the smell of burning rubber .

My Cooper ZEON RS-3s spin fairly easily but don't squeal either.

The Vitesse is great isn't it? Really like mine!

My Bridgestone's actually surprise me with their noise sometimes when I break them loose. Depends on the road surface, but in launch mode they will actually squeak a little even going from 3rd to 4th.
