Default When a kid told me to "SPIN EM"

Alright so I'm comin home from goin out to eat and I'm waiting to pull out of a side street onto the main drag. As I'm waiting to pull out I noticed a bunch of people I know chillin in a parking lot. Right away I knew one of them was gonna ask. (I got the only camaro in town so everyone knows my car even by the loudmouth). So I hear "SPIN EM" and I look and see a bunch of girls just standing around so I figured i'd give them a show. I rev it up to 3grand and just drop it a lil too much and she just whiped right out sideways and just ATE the curb. Prob the most embarrasing momment of my life. So I pull of the curb and right away I knew I blew the pass tire out. I've done so many burnouts and fishtails, but this one just caught more than I thought it would. Never underestimate the LS1 M6. , no matter how good of a driver you are. Anyone else loose controle be4? Just so I dont feel like a COMPLETE idiot hahah

Nittos on SLP ZR1's, $1200 dollars.
Quater Tank of gas, $2 dollars.
Looking like a idiot in front of a group of people, ******* EXSPENSIVE!

I agree with the above statement I had a 93 mustang 5.0 with a 5speed and 410 gears and that was my daily driver for 3 winters and never crashed in during the winter. I also had a 96 m6 z28 witch I drove a few times during winter when the daily driver was down. Now I have the trans am and its not hard to spin the drag radials with thestall but all in all still very easy to control. I guess I can understand where your coming from however with all my idiot buddies spinning out in stock gt mustangs "it just got away man I couldent control it" their dumbass's I know you just have to take it easy I guess and make sure your far enough away from a curb before you hammer it down and drop the clutch be carful man

goodluck hope she doesnt have to much damage

Damn that sucks.

I never try and show off because i dont think its worth it. When people tell me to "spin em" i just keep on rolling. No point in doing a burnout and thrashing my tires just so the spectators are happy.

I'm sure those girls dont think you're cool anymore

I did it at the bank a few months back. Was at the drive-thru ATM's, and there wass two of them. There was a car at each, so I stopped like 20 ft behind so I could go into which ever one opened up first. Then some dumbass chick just went past me and got right behind one of them, course that was the one that opened up first. I made it go sideways a little as I lined up at the other one and knicked the curb a little. Nothing too bad but it pissed me off royally cause I'd had my chrome C5 rims for over 6 months, and I'm extremely careful I never touch a curb.
My ASR (traction control) stuff broke, so I just had it completely removed instead of paying whatever outrageous price it was to fix. I can spin 'em to 40mph+ off a dig if I want, even with a basically stock A4 with 285's. Gotten pretty good at it, now I jerk the wheel slightly left and right to slide sideways just a little for some added excitement.

Yeah I was going around a curve in second gear and I just gave it a little gas for some spirited driving and ended up in the other lane facing the other direction. So I just went that way and acted like nothing happened lol

lol nice, one time i was pulling out onto the highway and i mashed it to bust out sideways but it busted out way more than the 45degrees i was shooting for as i was sitting spinning in the middle of the highway so i stayed in it and whiped it around until i had done a complete 180 and took off in the opposite direction i was wanting to go.
