i have never tried to whitesmoke the tires on my automatic v6...
you can whitesmoke a v6 right? is there enough power?

sorry im a novice to this kinda stuff

 

What's whitesmoke?

 

I think he means burnout Tom .

Yeah , we can burnout and get whitesmoke .

I burned out for like 30 sec in front of my cusions house while he was out there , there was so much white smoke this old lady even came outside and wondered what was going on , he told her I had a bad oil leak .

 

you have an automatic?

 

Oh, okay, thanks Wayne! Yeah, I've done it too... not so much with the rear tires I have now (P275/60r15 = huge), though. And I also have an automatic. Can't do a burnout? Search for my major tuneup in this forum (search is at upper right of this screen), do the major tuneup, and you should be able to.

 

I have a 2.8l v6, 5 speed, look at the pic on my main page and report back to me Link is below in my "profile" thingie

 

"92RSMuscle" maybe you should re=think that nick if you have never smoked the tires????

 

ok gumby...here ya go...

i have done burn outs....plenty of times, actually my family and i are regulars at raceway park, the anouncer knows us by name and everything...i just dont bring my car there...i have dont them plenty of times in a benz and in nissan's and in hondas...but not in my camaro, i have heard to many stories about how bad it is for your car, and i know its bad from exp. i was just wondering because i havnt tried it before...ok?

tomP and waynesRS, thank you for the positive responses...very helpful

 

you should definately be able to a burn out. especially in your 92 since it has a 3.1. Since all my mods, I have done massive brake stands here and there....even with 4 people in the car and 235's out back.

 

I was just teasing but since your a race pro I would expect a little more.

you dont even know its called a burn out, or is it the pros at your track call it whitesmoke????

if you know so much about racing and know all the people at the track why are you asking us these questioins??? i feel so unworthy.

sounds kinda hookey.

but its ok, if you just want someone to talk to.

But the question sounds kinda hookey with a nick like that and now even more since your a race track pro but some reason you dont know its called a burn out.

I would expect you would know the proper name spending your life at the race track and everyone knowing your name.....

The next time you and john force are chatting......

 

are those on our 15 X 7 rims??
or what?? those tires must be huge...i thought one
couldnt fit such huge tires on those rims..

 

No, the back rims are 15x8's, the front's are 15x7's (with P225/60r15 shoes). The rims are American Racing AR46's, the tires are BFGoodrich. The sidewall isn't that bubbly. You should've seen my old P255/70r15's on the original 15x7 rims! That was a bubble tire!

92RS, Ill have to give you a shout next time I go to Raceway park for a 1/4 mile run. Looks like it might be next year, don't know if I want to run the car with this dying trans.

 

Oil leak ! meesah like that excuse

I thought the almighty Wayne was a "good" driver now

j/k withcha man

 

Tom , man I feel for you bro , why is another tranny is about to dye on you ?

 

It's been dying; it's acted up ever since I got it back... here's an old message about it: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...threadid=48469 Amazingly, the trans is still running- but I know it's days are numbered. I'm hoping to rebuild the trans after welding in a new 1/4 panel- then it'll be rebuilding the engine. Aw crap and I still have to rebuild that 3.73/posi/disc again. Too much rebuilding, too little time, where the frig did the summer go?!?

 

you can say that again!

 

No kidding...

 

hey tom P...either me or my family is always there haha...an easy way to spot us is look for the only damn pathfinder in the whole place...tha'd be my uncle haha

 

92RSMuscle, we'll be @ Etown on 8/17 for the GM Civil War (F-Bodies VS other GM cars) event if you want to race with a bunch of 6'ers.

 

i should be there. i should get back from wildwood by then, odds are that ill be there.,..we will have to post something reminding everyone
