Dry pavement vs Wet pavement

[lloyd_nickens]

I can get my tires to spin when I exit a corner on wet pavement. Sometimes I can do it on a straightaway. I want to be able to do the same on dry pavement. How (without doing a N-Drop). Oh, yeah I have a Slushbox.

It's not such a good idea to spin your tires in a turn on any pavement. You won't get the maximum amount of grip for making the turn.

However to answer your question....TURBO!

Why???

Why would you want to do that? All you are doing is wearing your tires down that much faster and making people think, "Does that guy think he's cool?"

Last thing you want is to go spinning into traffic and become victim of the illusive AF CURSE!!

Why? Because it's stupid .

My friend use to take Mc Donalds trays and spin on them in the Winter - what a moron!

just buy really really really crappy tires and you can probably lose traction even when you shift to 'P'!

Don't worry about it. It's not worth all the trouble you're gonna go through. the safest way; MT conversion, turbo, or even better...squeeze.

squeeze???


I do want to do it all the time. It would be a fustration reliever (or maybe I'm still acting like I am 16........)

LOL

Yah Think?

squeeze.......nitrous

I don't think I want to use N2O. I want it to be me the turbo and my slushbox when I whup those pesky Honda's (incl Acura's). I was aksing because b4 I got my G I test drove a Jetta and peeled tires when I didn't want to (very torquey engine). I meant to say in my earlier post that I don't want to do it all the time. Just when I am at the beach in VA Beach and am trying to coax the other rice rockets into some playing. Usually we go to the Richmond Speedway to do races.....

If you want your tires to spin and be a ricer just reroute the windshield washer stuff to your wheel wells, then when you want to spin your tires, spray the washers, it'll get your wheels wet, and BAM! there you go. Wheelspin. I still don't see why this would be cool, but i'm sure with a something other than water, a slippery fluid of some sort, this would work pretty well.

With my old worn out tires I had on the car a while back, before I changed them, I could get my tires to spin at the top of first under power, like a rolling burnout. And it's not really that cool, or fun. Yeah, it looks good if your racing someone, but it also sucks because your sitting there spinning the tires instead of going anywhere. And if i was going around a turn forget it! right after the apex get on the gas...get wheelspin... then understeer... let off the gas.. etc... it sucked. But now i have good tires again

with my old tyres i could spin 1st and 2nd to the red line and a bit of 3rd in the wet. no tvery fun around corners. anyway got some new tyres now and its sweet. its a manual by the way.
