No ones talking about powerbraking it. You can do that in anything with wheels. They're talking about just slamming the gas and getting wheelspin. 3.08's can't do it. I have a 97 3.8 A4 with 3.08's and the only way my tires spin from a standstill without using the brake is if it's beenr raining.

what ppl mean here is, u have a4, and u rev the car upto 1700-1800, and when lights are go and u floor it when u release the brake... its hard to do it like tht, i can never peel out like that, however if i pull out of my drive way when going backwards, and when am done i put it in drive REAL quick, when the car isnt fully stopped, and i floor it, i get the best peel out [img]smile.gif[/img] but u never go backwords in a race [img]smile.gif[/img] . anyway, so i cant peel out when i stall it at 1700, and let it rip at the lights.
oh also, why would u wanna peel out? u just loose traction, and ur tires spin not getting u anywhere [img]tongue.gif[/img]

How did you do that, I had a sunfire and swear that thing only had like 110hp at most, but felt like 80hp, and that thing could not do jack Sh!znit.2001 Camaro A4<br />K&N air filter<br />Bone stock other than that<br /><br />(+[_]+) PSP

well mine is a 2001 (Standard...not GT) that makes 115hp 135tq. That thing can't pull for crap. 0-60 in the 12s. But I got a little chirp out of it by my method described up in the earlier post. My dad made a $10 bet that I couldn't do it so when money is on the line, I like to win. It wasn't a burnout nor was it a long squeal. It was like a 1/2sec errrrrrrrrr sound and that was it, but it still squealed. :D
oh on a side note it was an automatic and I was able to get it up to 106 (before hitting traffic) It literally took a minute to climb from 70 - 106 tho.

well my sunfire was a 99... horrible. I got mine up to 112 and came to trafic... it took me like near a minute and half from 70 though. The lamest part of the car was when i was driving it up a bridge my max speed...no joke was 83 and then it slowed down.
Anyways now that I noticed that I have 3.42 I chearp mine a lot getting out from where I live... Its a pain of intersection to come out on.2001 Camaro A4<br />K&N air filter<br />Bone stock other than that<br /><br />(+[_]+) PSP

by ssms5411Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...1 day ago
