Re: How much power would you need...
It depends on the temperature too. I can leave 100ft burn outs and still be spinning at 80mph in 2nd gear with my Nitto 315s @18psi in 20 degree weather. My car is pretty much stock too, and auto with 2.73s. In 60 degree weather or above the tires hook like nothing else. this question really can't be answered. It depends on too much. That's like asking about wheel stands, getting fire to come out of your tail pipes. It's all too vague.

But I hear people chirping 3rd and 4th and seeing similar or less numbers then mine. Especially since my numbers aren't totally accurate (Well they are accurate), or up to par since I pulled off at 5450 and it wasn't tune correctly (Very lean up top).
So it just seems weird to me and I think I hit gears pretty damn fast.
And when I mean chirping gears, I mean running through them and banging gears. Not dumping the clutch in any gear. My car will chirp 4th that way too. I don't consider that anything special

The only problem was I was loosing acceleration because of the traction issues, but if all your looking for is fun then just throw in some really low gears like 456 gears, you'll be sure to have some fun. remember the higher the numerical number the higher amount of torque to the rear wheels-

At the track with the front swaybar removed and M/T ET streets set to 14 PSI I can cut 1.7 60 foots regularly.

Re: How much power would you need...
My car spins at pretty much any speed if I floor it right now, and that is on 315 Nitto DRs. Then agin, I did just put in an open differential to get the car rolling. It didn't move at ALL when I tried to launch on slicks. Detroyed the posi, lol. It made a few good passes on DRs though, best 60' of 1.99.

Re: How much power would you need...
I spin a good amount in 2nd a little in 3rd and usually chirp 4th with 285/35-18 nitto 555 non drag radials. This is when just bangen through the gears and not trying to spin on as much as possible. But like everyone else says, depends on the road conditions, temperature, tires, clutch, suspesion, etc

D James... you ever run it at the track?
I don't think my car chirps 3rd, but it spins a lot through 1st and 2nd but you don't really hear any spinning, I just kind of feel it.

My car chirped 4th with just a catback and a stock clutch on brand new 245/50/16 tires. Then I added a SPEC stage III and some ZR1s with 275/40/17 tires and it still chirped 4th. This is with an LT1 with under 300HP. Me and my buddy werent too sure to we went back and looked. 1st gear there was like 10 feet of rubber, 2nd gear around 5' , 3rd gear was around 2-3' and 4th was like 3-4"s long. So yes it can be done
