Sky, why do your tires sound like that during your burnouts?

Its more high pitched than usual.

Damn, your car is fast! I need gears. Badly. 2.73's arent cutting it. 3.55 next week.

Loved that 0-110mph video, Skyler.

I know how you feel CobraMan. I just switched from 2.73s to 3.55s a week and 2 days ago

Thanks guys. My 3.73s are great, but theres just NO traction at all in 1st or 2nd any way that I look at it. Unless I just completely granny the car.

I'll get some new videos soon, and you can see how good shes running now.

Your traction problem must have to do with the stiff Racecraft suspension.

My 00GT does about the same thing if I try to leave the line too hard - once it starts spinning I can let off and hit it again and it just wont grab - if I shift hard into 2nd, it'll burn all the way through until I go to 3rd. This all started after I put on my suspension mods - it hooked much better with the stock suspension and 245's than it does now with the 315s.
