Default OK NOW I'm pissed

Well I came to my inlaws and my mother in law asked me to take her new black charger to the back yard so she can wash it. So I went down the street and turned around and the ****ING 6cyl charger broke the damn tires free!!!![:@] And I didn't mean to...I gave it gas like I was slowly accelerating from a light... Any my V8 truck can't....what horse ****

Your truck can't break the tires free? Mine can, only perf-related mod is exhaust (and Autolite 3923's but those don't count)

Mine can, too. No performance mods here. Just an manual transmission.

Yeah, even our 3.7 auto can, I was with my sister the first day we drove it off the lot, at that exact moment I was telling her that the power was a night and day difference between this and her 97 neon, and how it is RWD and light in the *** end, the response was "I know, I know", then she pulled out of the dealership leaving behind a 40 ft tire mark!! All while the salesman was standing there with his mouth wide open, priceless!!

Gotta love the dealership peelout, I pulled one of those on my test drive.It only takes a little goosing to break the tires loose in my 3.7 with the stick, but 1st in the 6 speed is almost a granny gear. A good carwash can let you spin the rears all they way into 2nd.

Nevertheless, I'm going to bebitter when they put the new Phoenix 4.0L in the Dakotasin '10. Hopefullythey will still make trucks with stick shifts...

i have an 07 HO Q/C 4X4 with the LSD and only mods i have is k&n intake and magnaflow cat back and i can smoke the 18's right off the truck.

my buddy at work has a 07 F/F V8 2wd and it can sorta spin the 16's that come on it but nothing compared to my HO thats for sure.

Well it’s either torque management or the 4.7s are inconsistently built. IMO if you are running BFG AT TA KO or the BFG Rugged Trails you won’t break them loose very easy or not at all. The Goodyear’s just brake loose and burn like nothing to it.
