I got on it at the stop light today.......mind you it is an automatic.......spun them in 1st and also through second......it has never been able to do this on dry pavement before.....was kinda nice to get them to break loos the Nittos for a change....still wish my wife would of gotten the stick.......Grrrrrrrr

Any one else been able to break loose like that in an automatic on dry ground.?????I know a stick can do it all day long.....

 

Ricer.

 

by chance did you break them those turning haha?

Ive never heard it before but i guess it was pretty sweet to do that in an auto

 

thanks captain........I am still baffled by why it broke loose like that.....it is cold out but dry........maybee the tires are not to sticky in the cold.

 

no it was in a straight line....it started to spin on the painted intersection lines so I went with it........must of had the power area jsut right to keep it going........done it a few times on a corner,but this was cool.....damn automatics.....lol

 

prolly was just the paint on the road

 

What Nittos do you have on?

 

the Neo gens......which is why it surprised me.....they tend to never slip.It is about 35 out today so they must be feeling hard or something.

 

How old r the tires? Usually older tires will spin better

 

8000 mile on them......i think it must be they were cold and i got in the right power area to keep them spinning through second....was funny to see the guage saying I was going about 68mph and you could jog beside the car.....

 

In my auto if I held the brake and the gas together and let off the brakes/mashed it it would spin SOME in first. But all of first and some 2nd is unheard of.

Maybe you hit a little ice or something?

In the wet my auto would rip 1st and 2nd only. You did in the dry what the auto barely does in the rain, haha.

 

yeah I wonder if the road had some frost on it........thinking that is about it...it was cold this morning.....about 10:30.....over cast......typical Washington weather....lol

It was a trip for sure....as I had never gotten second to spin them to 3rd gear before.

 

cold road conditions probably...thats why race car drivers will warm up their tires/pavement by slowly swerving back and forth on the track before they begin their laps. it warms up the slick tires and gets a bit more grip...

 

Cold tires
+ road conditions
+ marginally more HP from cold weather
+ subjective factors

= Spinny spin spin

 

Lol, automatic drivers are easily amused. J/k, congrats on your wheel spin :D

 

^X2 we are easily amused when our little autos do something cool. Doesn't happen alot.

Not to sound rice or put you down but i can do this alot. Its really easy for me...

Only due to the fact that i'm at 25k miles and still riding my potenza's lol. Crappiest tires i've ever seen.

Congrats on breaking the nitto's loose, make us proud man!

 

bridgestone truanzas <<< potenzas ; they suck on an epic level, but they work better in the winter than my azenis

 

lol in the rain i never have traction no matter how easy i am on the pedal. Makes me think my little auto is actually doing something...then i remember how slow it really is.

 

i love spinning in my stockies
