Also I hear a screeching noise sometimes when I try it.. thanks everyone

Re: Rear End


If you try to powerbrake, what happens if your tires don't spin? You just drive forward? Hold the brakes harder. Even a V6 should be able to brakestand.
Screeching sounds like your tires are smoking. What's the problem?
