Default School is Out!

I finished my last two finals earlier this morning and my mom came to pick me up in my truck because I wanted to drive it. I got to the exit and held the brake with one foot and simultaneously floored it and let off the brake. The tire spun some but did not leave black marks. I'm kind of surprised at my truck. It seems pretty easy to break the tire loose. Can anyone else with the 3.9 break the tires loose as easily as I can? Or maybe I have the special 300hp v6 .

It's funny you enjoy that, don't get me wrong I'm not saying you shouldn't I'm just saying I feel the opposite.

I hate turning from a dead stop and getting the old tire chirp WAY too easily.

Hope ya did well on your finals.

Congrats on being done... Last year on my last day of high school I was driving my old F250 with a 400 V8. I did a nice long farewell burnout in it lol.

But yeah, my 3.9 can break them loose but not going straight with the 31's. I can still get them loose around corners and if I do a brake stand.

I haven't looked to see how I did on my finals but I know I made a high C or low B on my science test. That is one jacked up teacher. I can chirp the tires without turning but I bet it would get annoying after awhile.

agreed. I can knock mine loose from a dead stop with the 4.10's, thus I'm in pursuit of a LSD or locker.

You can run straight 11's in an automatic, now I'll admit I have a 4.7. But still its possible. I laid down a perfect 11 for 30 ft once.

I have a question for yall though. What tires are you on? I think I can do it because I have highway tires

When I first bought my truck, I could break one loose since I had half bald tires and an open diff, so no 11's for me. But now that I got new tires last month, I can't even get a chirp out of mine, and that's with the 4.7. But 3.55s probably aren't helping a lot. Wish I had 4.10s, or at least 3.92s.
