MY CE is getting new tires this Saturday. So I am thinking lets see what kind of burn out we can do. I pick up my buddy Gary and we go out on this road that is blocked due to construction down on the tracks. No traffic on this road right now. I bring up the R's and dump the clutch. Wheels start to spin and then the gas pedal kicks back at my foot. DOOO... forgot to turn the ASR off. Lets try again. Bring up the R's and dump the clutch this time the rear end is swinging to the left then to the right. I cant keep it straight. Next thing the engine is hitting red line and the tires are getting obliterated back there. Three times the engine cuts back (rev limiter I guess) but continues to destroy the tires. I cant believe this car. It spun the tires all the way to redline and stayed there. What a monster!! We went back to look at the patch we laid. I would estimate two solid black lines for at least 150' until I backed off. I started to get a little concerned about hitting the rev limiter so much, and the rear was swinging back and fourth a little too much. Out of control was coming soon.
Needless to say I am very impressed with this LT4. I can still smell the tire smoke sitting here thinking about it.
Did I do any damage bouncing off the rev limiter like that?
