mine will spin at almost every light I take off from. I have 35's and 3.92's, but the open diff dont help me at all. I wish I woulda did a burn out when I test drove it.. but my auburn posi should be installed with in the next couple of weeks. I just have to find time to get over there.

should we let them go out a add $1200
to their never paid off credit card balance

that will also hit their highway MPG ?

Yes, you should have mercy and tell. lol
I've never even heard of that before.
I wanna find out what kind of rear end I have on my truck. Whoever had it before me replaced it.

Lol, didn't realize this would be such a popular thread! FWIW, my 08 QC is the limited slip rear end, 3.92 with 20's, and no traction control and no, no I can't spin them. When I stomp on the gas, I just hook up and go.

However, it rained tonight, so I stopped just so on the painted pedestrian crosswalk lines, brake torqued it a bit, and yep, sure enough, had no problem spinning them! I felt kinda weak though, I should be able to do that on just dry pavement!

ive done literally thousands of burnouts with the mirada, and ive never found any negative effect on the brakes.

Amanda's 2nd gen (360, stock auto, 3.92s) will spin the stock sized tires effortlessly...and at the track, it spun the hoosiers in the burnout box.

My quad cab hemi trx4 will burn the tires all day if I want to. I don't really want to though, gas and tires are expensive lol.

Next time, once it starts spinning, try backing out of the throttle a bit. Mine pulls much harder towing a trailer if I floor it then back off to about 3/4.
Factory torque management sucks!!!! No updated PCM flashes either, I checked with my dealer.
