I notice everyone say that they can spin tire in their cars even if it's an auto. Not that I want to burn up my tires, but why can't I spin my tires when gunning it in first gear, regardless of the VSA on or off. My tires aren't super sticky (Bridgestone Turenzas, I love them) I have a good amount of mods, but I just don't get that tire spin off the line when I gun it.

I can get a lil chirp like I just ran over a bird, but nothing good.

Whats up with this...?? Am I the only person who can't spin their tires with their auto.

It depends for me. If I'm leaving work on our concrete parking lot, I can peel really well. On paved proads, I can get a little chirp.

My older stock tires were a bit better for peeling.

I've rotated my OEM's up front (got Yoko V4's on the back) so I'm squeaking and squealing all over the place w/ my 6spd without even trying

On my old Falkens I could get it to break free all the time. Actually it was quite annoying until I got it to chirp 2nd gear, that was cool. But now that I'm on the General Exclaim UHP's, I can barely get her to break free in the wet much less when the road is dry. Also, the only other time I notice it breaking free now is this... Let's say I'm sitting at a light and the light turns green. I nail it and the tires grab but as soon as I cross that painted white line it will lose traction and chirp across the painted line on the road. As soon as I'm off the white line, it grabs again. I love these tires.

i cant get squat if im doing more than a 3-5 mph roll, but if i go from dead stop holding the brake and punching the peddle beofre i start to roll i can spin them for a couple of feet. and my falkens are pretty sticky too. haha i was going for a about 20 sec the other day in the rain on a concrete lot.

Ha, my old integra 1.8, I busted up so many axles by spinning tire and then it catching. So I am a little weary of spinning tire anymore even if I could. So without a brakestand, its pretty common that most of us can't spin tire in the auto.

P.S GreenMonster, you don't need to rub it in how easy it is for you to do. Not my fault that I can only spin tire on an icy day. Just playin, burn on.

i think at stock height the car spins more from what im hearing...
when i race from a stop i spin like a bitch, last time i raced everybody though i neutral dropped...

So I am taking that your car isnt dropped. I mean, I am not complaining, I get pretty good torque off the line because I get no spin, but unless i am turning out of a parking lot and gun it, I just can't seem to spin my damn tires. The Turenzas arent very sticky either, they are only touring tires, but oh well, I guess I got a "factory freak" but in a bad way.

nothing wrong with a factory freak
but yeah, i look like big foot at the moment, im waiting to drop it

I don't seem to have a problem with doing it. VSA on or off, I'll still get a nice session out of it. That's with my Pirelli PZero Neros on.

Yeah, I forgot about that. I definitely got better traction from a dig after it was dropped. I attribute that to the slight rake up front, slightly distributing the weight differently plus she doesn't "squat" anymore when I nail the throttle.

It's just that it's kinda embarrassing sometimes

my 6spd squeals all day with my oems....1st and second....i try not to but the car cant help it....i think she likes it...lol...

i barley got any wheel spin also, here's a video of a slight chirp from a stop

heheheheheh nice "chirp"

its always much easier to burn out when turning with a fwd car

yea its funny, when i take off, my nose is all in the air, and it feels like im about to drag my back bumper lol, damn im exagerrated

if you listen closely i slowly go around the corner and then just when im about staright i hit it that was about 3 years ago....and i let out just about the top of 2nd were i could have continued into 3rd...standing start,rolling didnt make a difference uncontrolable wheel spin was there whenever i desired

Ok, please stop rubbing it in. I want to cry

lol ...here's another

a beautiful sight

Was that "PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" that I heard? Love the sound and the cloud.

Yeah, my car is at stock height and I have Yoks for rubber. Even with I/H/E I can make my tires smoke. I just love the smell.

For everybody, it depends on what kind of road your on.

i caught 3rd like that before in my gsr, but it was raining like a bitch that day lol

nope ...always N/A

Ahahahaha! I love it. All of our auto N/A cars should do this, I don't understand what the rest of you are talking about. Nice vids R. Makes me wanna go out this weekend and record a couple too.

Why do I sense some sarcasm in this comment... I wish it was that easy for me, I am bout to go toss some clorox on my tires and put the e-brake on. Then maybe I can keep up....

When I had the auto all I could do was chirp the tires. And that was from a stop. couldn't do anything when moving.
Now the 6mt I can peel out well from gears 1-2 at any time. I can actually peel out shifting into 2nd gear.
