chirping tires into 4th?!

**toneloc60** · 04-17-2006, 07:57 AM

Has anyone else on here chirpped the tires at WOT going into 4th around 100?

I was out at the parents farm this weekend and took my cousin for a ride. It was pretty windy out and I think that may have had something to do with it. But, yeah, I chirpped the tires going into 4th at about 100. We looked at each other in amazement.

All I've done to my '00 M6 Z28 is FRA, ported MAF ends, TB bypass, K&N, and put Royal Purple throughout the driveline.

I can do it but not running 100. Just running it through the gears.

I don't expect to ever be able to do it again. I honestly think with all the wind, I may have caught a draft that made the rear end light. I don't know.

Mine will do it on a regular basis.

what mods have you done to your car? What are you putting out at the wheels?

I can chirp 3rd..not forth, but i'm sure with 4.10s it would be easy.

You could use some new tires

SeVeReDiStOrTiOn, I've got Goodyears on it that have about 7/32nds left on the rears.

Chirp. What's that. My clutch wont take any abuse. Neither would the other 2 SS's I test drove before buying. The NOS I just installed destroys 2nd gear. Has 80,000 now but all three of these cars clutches slipped with less than 30,000 miles on them. Are all you chirpers using aftermarket?

Spec 3.

Mine's stock as far as I know. I bought it late last summer with 89,xxx on it and no mods as far as I can tell.

i can spin 4th gear in the rain doing 40-45 mph, that was pretty cool, getting sideways in 4th in the rain

**jgriff** · 04-17-2006, 03:17 PM

I always found it easy to chirp 4th. Those are on 235's though.

**oneBADDz** · 04-17-2006, 03:29 PM

my LT1 would chirp 4th every time, but not at WOT redline, just running through the gears like BigD said

**Fedge** · 04-17-2006, 03:44 PM

that is what sold me on my 93 Formula back then...I had a $1000 deposit on a brand new 93 Cobra (thought the new fbod was hideous in the mag at the time, the pics did it NO justice) and when with a friend of mine to the Pontiac dealer to pick up a part. Then I saw it, a brand new black Formula, 6 speed, charcoal guts, 3.23 gears, oil cooler...just what I wanted. I test drove it and the gy said, go ahead...hit it. So I did...spun all of first, second, half of third and chirped 4th...I was sold, gave him 500 bux at the light....made the deal...20,315 (21,169 out the door) and the rest is history...
