So I dumpped it from 3,500 and it chirped and took off. So it got me pissed and I decided to do a couple 5,000 + drops which resulted in the car chirping and taking off like it was doing a wheelie (which I wish it had the power to do). I was astonished, but in all reality, it was 100 degrees out and the road had been black topped a few weeks prior.

do you have any mods? those must be some damn sticky tires cause i can drop mine (lid, lca's) from 3500 and smoke them. I would love to be able to launch like that stock.

Mods in sig which besides EWP I am full bolt on. At Byron, ILL I spin like crazy. None of my other friends believed me until the buddy with me was like "Hell yeah, took off like a raped ape" (or something close to that). Never tried to mimic it due to not having enough cash to replace the 10 bolt. Now my H/C build is going (putting the cart before the horse) I will get around to the rear eventually. I am putting 315 GSD3's on after the build. Goodyear gets my vote but only for that tire

you don't dump the clutch in a awd drive car any way
but my 10 bolt was going out and it was just a bolt on car and a small cam 6spd if I dropped it at 2500 it would spin like crazy

I know of a guy right now that is pushing 428 RWHP with stock 10 that is holding up. That and rears are more like $1700 - $2000. They are hit or miss, some break under stock power, some hold up. Mine has seen a couple 5K dumps with it hooking 100%, you can kiss AWD good bye unless it was pulling 500 or so horse since I did these 2 hard launches with full bolt ons.

mine holdin up still.. but knock on wood lol
