I was wonderinf if an 83 Berlinetta with a v6 should be able to squeal the tires from a standstill position. It is all stock and no mods.

 

I would say probably not. if it is a manual, you might have a chance. or if you have really bad tires, maybe. otherwise those cars dont have a ton of power

I got the tires to squeal a couple times from a stop on my 86 V6. Heres what I done: I came to a stop sign pulling out of a parking lot that was on an incline. Once i came to a complete stop I just floored it and it let out a nice tire chirp. I never thought it would be able to do it. The hill was the only thing that helped it though as it would never do it on the flat.

I'm with two out of three of you. My tires don't chirp. They have once. I just was wondering if my car was gutless. It has good take off but not spin. I guess that's actually good. I have new tires on there so they're gripping well.

 

BAH. I have done weight reduction and tuneup as my only "mods" to my 86 firebird. with my 2.8 / m5 I can roast them in first, bark second hard, and even chirp third. (power shifting).

My friend has an 88 firebird m5 and he can chirp second. His tranny is going out though

With an auto it would be almost impossible.

 

m5??? You mean T5???

M5 T5 is actually right..M5 and M6 are manual 5 and six speeds..and obviously A3 and A4 are automatic.
