Default Auto that chirps the Tires?

Ok so I was out last week with 2 buddys comming back from the strip club in my car when I ran into a infinity g35. Well the guy trys to get on it from what I hear outta the high pitch reving exhaust I think it was around 40 mph it sounded nice. So I floor it the car downshifts and starts pulling the G35 in no problem then it does what I have never heard the car do before it chirps the tires? So I was just wondering if anyone else has chirped the tires in a stock auto? Both my friends are kinda big guys one is 270lbs at the least and the other is 180lbs and I weigh out at about 220lbs so you think maybe all this weight is what made the gears chirp?? Oh yeah the tires are pretty new.

Mines does it quite a bit if I'm on the right kind of surface. I'm about 225, but I don't think that's got much to do with it.

It could be that the tire traction is not as good with these new tires. I could get sideways with my Kumho Ecstas going into second yet my new BFG's barely chirp second. Now granted I have a stick but the same principle applys. Less grip=more chirp Less chirp=More grip=busted rear faster so it's all a tradeoff.

I can't chirp mine at much more than 30. Then comes the infamous dead spot, hopefully to be a thing of the past once I get some $$$.

I got a tune and full exhaust, and with the shift points set at what they are the car chirps them putting it into D from Park lol, and i also spin the tires very easily now even with my crappy 2.73 gears. didnt use to do that before i got the tune up.

It's called a big converter.


If I drop the hammer at 25-30 mph while turning even the slightest bit, or with a little bit of dust/dirt on the road I end up doing a rolling burnout....on drag radials.



Punching it from 30-40 will always be one of your worse areas, but the converter covers it up quite well.

my car just spins em through second. i dunno if it chirps em though, i cant hear a thing when i floor it. I guess having straight pipes will do that lol.

I have a converter and im running eagle f1 gs's on the back. I thought they were supposed to have some ok grip.
