whats up with 96's

it had a 3.23 gear
my friends '94 formula would barely spin the tires from a stop(street racing king!) let alone when shifting in to second.
it had a 2.73
I know, you wouldn't think another 1/2 turn of the pinion per revolution would make that big of a difference, but it does.
probably the fact that the '96 cars you've road in were 3.23, and the others were 2.73's...

Verdad Gallardo Mines a 96 M6, exhaust/cai only, droppin into 3rd and dumpin the clutch and takin off it would chirp the tires at 70, but now that I have suspension work, it just hooks and goes, even on a 150 shot. Now, lower speeds on the bottle are a different story

A lot of people put shift kits in after i put my trans-go in a spin through second about 20 feet and i had 2.73s. LOL could also spin through third while power braking probably not to good on the tranny.

My friend has a stock as a rock 94 Accord and can chirp the tires powershifting into 2nd or 3rd. Guess his car is way more badass since I can't break the tires loose on the 2-3 shift in my LS1.
Seriously though, being able to spin the tires is more about the type of tires than the amount of power you make. Example: buddy had a 95 Z28 auto with some really shitty all season tires. From a dead stop without powerbraking he could roast the tires for 50' and make a huge smokeshow. My A4 Z28 has at least 50 more hp and has some good BFG KDW tires on it. I can maybe spin the tires for a few feet before they hook.
