Not bad, but I normally look in front of me when I'm in the car.

that has nothing to do with it. Even if I had a V8 I wouldn't do it. It's wasteful on tires, and I barely have enough money for those as it is. And its not like my car can't. Especially with no interior other than the dash, one seat, and a seatbelt.

Really, I couldn't get my 3.4 to do a burnout. It'd just launch and then bog down.

my gp can do a burnout, but it eats transmissions(part of the trans being rated for about 5 hp less than the engine is putting out stock, and then adding parts).The bravada wouldn't do it even if it was a v8 (awd is great), and radial tires don't need heat (they actually don't like heat, just a slight chirp to clean tehm and go)

lol, fvcker.. yes yes i have a 3.4 and it blows, soon to upgrade to another camaro. Due time my friend...due time. I just got a ticket today for my windowtint, it was raining and the windows were half way up and cop pulled me over...i didnt know why cause my system wasnt booming at the time and i deffenitly wasnt speeding, dude told me cause my tint, i have 5% all around and 35% in front, his meter said that my tint read 3%..whatever..its cool, im getting the ticket tooken care of. Good thing my dad is friends with the judge, lol..mUAhhahAHHA he didnt say anything about my tailshades...owell, i could tell the cop was a rookie trying to earn some brownie points by just giving me a ticket instead of the warning.

Oh and my camaro can do some badass burnouts. Since this camaro is my only vehicle right now i tend to just get from point A to point B, thats it.

It was a joke.


paarman97maro, You're still using the open differential, aren't you?

Same here, the ones I've shown everyone here on tape are the only one's I've ever done. The last one's Mark and I did was just so we could have a video to show off and I'm happy with it so I won't be doing any other's unless I have new tires on order.

Get a Zexel-Torsen and 3.42s, man, you'll love it. Don't bother shelling out the extra cash for an Auburn unless you intend on putting out some ungodly amount of power.
