I have smoked the tires going 70 MPH with my father's TT 427 2001 ZO6. My 93 T/A with 372 RWHP will not smoke the tires at 70 MPH, I've tried. I can get the car sideways shifting, but not just by hammering the gas pedal.

I broke mine loose the other day at 60 MPH in 4th gear just rolling into the throttle... that was a little un-nerving as I wasn't prepared for it

go to the junk yard and get two donut tires that are about 2 inches wide and have a ball dude, honestly its extremely dangerous, i did it only going 50 on an onramp accidently because of the rain and almost took out two other cars...pulled over and smoked about a pack to calm down...but for ***** and giggles to just chirp em as a sign of lots of hp/tq then time it right with your shift points to where your going as fast as you can before you floor it to where it downshifts to second and then itll chirp em, depending on the tune it will be different for every vehicle...

I read it and thought "another annoying vague question".

You want to show off? Put old, dry-*** shitty tires on the back. Even a slow car will spin them when you punch it.

Most serious racers/modders are looking FOR traction, not trying to lose traction.

Why would you want to spin your wheels on the freeway? Thats like asking your car to loose control and spin into a wall or cars. Not something I'd do on the freeway of all places.
