Ill give you a break, I was 16 once, but I need a mod list before I see 60 mph and spinning tires... It takes a LOT of work to break loose at 60!

Ill be honest with you i have NO CLUE how i did it bone stock l98, I smelled burnt rubber and didnt go anywherei assumed i burned the tires EDIT ( of course the tires i have on this thing are ... well who the hell knows how old so.. that could be it im surprised they even hold air)

OF course

My clutch maybe could have slipped horribly... and made a smell similar to burnt rubber perhaps

Even though to me at least a clutch smells horrible compared to rubber, if you have a stock l98, my money is on the clutch burning.

Raining or wet road maybe? Believe it or not I have gotten both tires to smoke on my non-posi L03 car when it was raining heavily by flooring it at about 40.... maybe this is what happened??? *shrugs*
