Exclamation 50 mph punch, smoke...

Last night I went cruising around, first real drive since the LTs and cutout. I was cruising at about 50 mph and I hammered it with the cutout open, car started drifting and left a huge cloud of smoke. It was nice. Can't believe I waited so long to get LTs, its never done that before. And the e-cutout is a lot of fun. The chick nearly pissed her pants, he BF has a hot-rod escort... nuff said.

so you broke the tires loose at 50 is that what you're saying? or you're blowing smoke?

girls used to always want to go fast with me with my stock motor, ever since i got the 383 they are scared? i tell them its just a hole in the muffler but they're still scared...

damn man thats pretty cool. I remember seeing a ls1trans am leaving black marks on the highway on his some type of drag radial going like 50-60. I wish my damn ls1 car would do that. Maybe when I get my LTs on and hit it with some giggle gas it might leave smoke or just blow them off and go sideways but lets hope that wont happen going 50+mph
Be safe man

I lost the rear at 70 and had it going pretty good sideways. It wasn't intentional or from power, just snow and ice and a bridge

i <3 traction control and good reaction timing.

That's because you have traction.

Maybe you should try some drag wheels and tires. You wouldn't have that problem anymore.

Hahahaha...Yeah, I guess you're right! But any car, even with crappy tires, that can get smoke rolling at 50, is still pretty badass...

When I was on street tires and got on it at any speed in 2nd gear I would start heading towards the ditch. Street tires can be outright dangerous on a car with any amount of power.
