I have a 1993 Ford Escort LX 4-door hatchback w/ the 1.9L, automatic. On a few occasions I have chirped a tire on a turn on dry pavement. And of course, I have spun my tires on dirt, snow, gravel, and wet roads. However, a full burnout on dry pavement I have not tried. I would rather not risk the transmission on some rubber burning experiance. I can wait until I get a newer car. Any new car these days can spin its tires, because pretty much all of them have over 130hp.

Since you are into driving fast, have you topped it out? My speedo goes to about 85mph and I passed it to about where the 90mph line would be. I don't think I will ever know the speed past 85 unless I had a portable GPS. I normally go 75-80 on the highway. Topping it out was one of those one time things. I haven't been over 80 since.
