true you can spin tires in any car thats a stick but im saying like red9450 said, going like 20 and stomp it. if you can roll, stab it and spin from like 20 then yea its power. there was a guy whos car died at this intersection of a small outdoor mall type place where a bunch of cars go and stuff and theres stores and restuarants and movies so its a good hangout for people with cars. anyways it was like an 85 toyota POS and it died, he got pissed started it up and dropped the clutch from like 7 grand.lmao it was hilarious.

I've spun tires shifting into 2nd in a geo spinning tires does not equal power when you decouple the engine from the trans then recouple fiercly (dump the clutch)

he's not talking about shifting :banghead: hes saying when he's rolling at like 20 or 30 mph and hammering down on it, and as for shifting, i doubt ur geo has trouble keeping straight shifting from first to second. a chirp means nothing. heavy smoke and loss of control = power...regardless of stick or auto

I think you missed the point, smartass. What he said was that its even more cool if you can stomp an auto going 20 or 30 and leave marks without having to do anything with the clutch. Shows off power more that way.

if you spin in second like that then your car has major traction issues (I couldn't do that with my 455 and muncie that ran in the 11's but it hooked )
