Mine will burn 2nd up and hit 3rd pretty good too with 145,000 on it. Oh wait, I have a 6 speed! I have always heard these engines should be worth at least 200,000 before rebuild.

You sound like you want this to happen. I'll point out that any time you break traction (and yes, chirping the tires is breaking traction) you are slowing down. So, you get to decide which is more important...having a car that's fast and quick or impressing your buddies because they don't know anything? The guy next to you for sure won't care that your tires chirp when he shows you his tail lights.

I know how to burn them off or lay it all on the ground. I have the programmed, tuned foot mod.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was referring to the OP, not you. The tuned foot is handy, but just being able to nail it is more convenient yet!

2nd is possible, did it all the time. 3rd gear in a auto is really unlikely unless you have some rediculous high school kid poorly installed high pressure shift kit in it. 3rd gear is like 70-75mph
