Burn out
Burn out Alright, I apologize if I come across sounding like a complete idiot. But I was wanting to ask about ya'lls SS's. Specifically if when you first got it, was it real loose? By loose I meant did/do the tires spin alot? My car so far only has 600 miles on it. But I was under the impression that with the LS3, I would be able to turn traction control off and nail it in first gear and it would break loose. But for me that isn't the case. I will admit/agree, the car feels quick and much quicker than my 2006 Mustang GT that I sold to buy the Camaro, but I guess I just built it up so much in my head.
Thanks,
Brandon

I dont have any experiance with this exact car but i would tell you that it will depend on many different things, (the tires, road contion, weather will all play some effect) if it is an auto or manual it will be different too. My car before this one was an 02 z28 auto and if it was under 35 it was good chance it would spin, with the manual now it seems to hook better down low and then if it does spin it is up at higher rpm. Also just because a car is able to burnout doesnt mean that it is always fast, hooking is a good thing in my opinion.
I would agree. hooking is WAY better than worrying about roasting the tires...
once you start spinning then you have to start working on feathering the clutch and then that just makes you where the clutch out faster
run it at the track.. see what your times are..
If it's only running a mid 13 then yeah I would say you have a problem..

In this nasty Florida heat not much will spin the tires w/ the road being as hot as it is and the tires and 105 heat index.My 10 spin a little in 1st and 2nd in this heat but this past winter it would burn tire threw 3rd but the heat has killed that and like the other guy said it has a tall tire which screws u also.

In almost 10k miles, I don't think that I've ever tried to get the tires to spin with just nailing it, but I race my car, I expect it to hook if I nail it. Now if I dump the clutch on it, even with 315 DR's on it, I can haze the tires all the way through 4th if I want. But usually just 1-2 gears to heat them up, if I'm gonna launch it on the street, most of the time I just dump it in 2nd to get the tires moving.
LOL...funny thunder and thanks Jamnut. Well I figured with the power they have that it would break loose if I just matted the go pedal, without popping the clutch. Although that said, if I do a 2500 rpm dump she still only spins a bit and then catches and hauls ***. Also what is the difference if I push the traction control button once, or twice? I know I could read this in the manual, but I figured I would ask some other people that have experience with it.
Twice is LAUNCH CONTROL were you are @ a dead stop push the button twice and w/ the clutch in in 1st u can put the gas pedal to the floor and it will not go past 4500rpm's until u release the clutch.Basically a 2 step rev limiter.

Wow, its crazy how todays electronics can make a car handle different. But, with the power you make you should be able to roast them.. but, at the same time the car should be driveable..
oh yes.. definable take the TC off.. it will make a world of difference if your wanting to spin the tires... there is a lot of engine torque management happening to limit what you can do..

You cannot spin your tires flat footing your car in first gear because of the torque management, you cant simply turn it off with traction control it has to be tuned out. Torque management only allows the throttle to open partially, gradually increasing as the rpms increase to a set limit when it finally allows the throttle to open all the way. If you like buying tires on a regular basis get the torque management tuned out and have fun.
