On good road conditions, dry, free of debris, can you spin your tires, not just a chirp, not just a couple of rotations, but really spin them where they have no traction.
From a stand still, to a full throttle launch, my tires spin for maybe a second max then grab hold, was doing 0-60 runs with my g-tech and I was just curious if other people can spin theres, cause I seem to remember being able to spin mine longer, but it could've been a sandy road.
0-60 times for me were 7.5 seconds by the way.

Flat road surface, holding the brake, and a quick transition to full throttle, tires chirp and spin a tad for merely a second, then it hooks up, once it hits 4k in first, it starts pulling hard and doesnt give up.
I got 2 runs of 7.6 using the powerbrake method

when it first started raining over by where i live, like maybe a month ago, i was at a stop light and the lane i was in mas going to merge with the other 2 lanes in like 10 feet, so i floored it to get ahead of everyone, but my tires just kept spinning and spinning seriously for like 5 feet. Im assuming that b/c it just started raining, there must have been oil on the road. Besides that one time, i have never spun out my wheels. Hopefully with the supercharger ill be able to
....the road that connects to the main road... (maint street)
there is old asphault and has alott of rocks and pebbles on it..
i constantly burn out there when im trying to speed infront of oncoming traffic
usually 1-3 seconds when i want to get it in control...
but when showing off before my tire rotation i can keep it going for prob 6-7 seconds
before i run into new asphault....
but thats turning..
fun fun fun... but sometimes DANGEROUS

Umm. If you turn the wheel a little bit while flooring it from a standstill (like making a right turn on to a busy road in heavy traffic) its difficult to NOT spin the tires...
I can get a 1 to 3 second burn without even trying. Never tried to do one as long as I could...

Well I can spin my tires to my heart's content on a wet road or one with sand/gravel/snow.
Which is why I asked about clean dry roads ;)
*Edit*
About applying throttle while the wheel is turned, yes I have noticed that, happens most of the time to me.

Agreed. On clean dry roads without turning the wheel I usually do no more than just chirp them... then again I'm more interested in having a quick launch than a good burn. I guess that's a leftover from my dragracing days...

anyways, spinning the tires, wether on purpose or not is terrible for your joints
