Hello guys,this is my first post,I have a question about 2006 vette,actually this question is for my neighbor hi is older dude and hi is not messing whit a computers,anyways we was toking the other day about his corvette,and hi was telling me that hi have hart time to smoke the tires hi almost sounded little disappointed,I ask him if hi is turning the traction control of hi said yes hi also try to brake torque it and nothing,that sounded weird for me to,to best of my knowledge that car have 6.0L motor and 400 BHP.
So can you teal me what is the deal whit that?Please teal me so I can make the old dude happy.
When I am already here here is something about my self:
I own 2000 mustang GT bored and stroked to 302ci is one quick hot rod.

Corvettes have an excellent suspension and tires. Therefore, excellent traction. The Corvette is not designed to "smoke" the tires. It is designed to dig in and go.
So, Warrior102, where are you from?

you shouldn't have any problem what-so-ever smoking the tires with a stock c6, any model.
simply, from a dead stop, turn off 'traction control' and 'stomp' the gas pedal. it will smoke the tires, no problem. the higher the air pressure, the easier to spin.
