This reminds me of a certain member, who said after long tubes they could go sideways in every gear, with an automatic. Sorry, with over 400 RWHP I had no problems with traction at 80 MPH, even hammering it in second (stock rear 3.42s) and taking off fast I would not break the tires free.

Yoko AVS Intermediate 255s, Koni DA 600# fronts, 140-160# rears.

You either have a problem with the car, or are fantasizing

BTW I know of a car that can do this, with a TH400, it runs 9s and has roughly 1000 HP, and 80 MPH is roughly when the burnouts stop.

 

Great.
Now he thinks his car has 1000 hp and it will run 9s like all the other kids at "his" high school.

 

Oh well, there will always be the other guy with the 1017 HP Civic to tell him to shut his mouth about efficiency

 

Sounds like he's been driving the Tempo too long!!!

 

Mine chirps third too, but it is a slipping band in the tranny. I know that is what he is hearing. I knew there was no way it was chirping third.

 

someone said it earlier..................i dont go sideways.(wow that would be freak me out).......the tires just chirp a little for a sec.

p.s. -- could there be something wrong with my tranny

 

maybe i am hearing
a belt slipping.............but i would like to know if my trans it not doing good..................i was just making sure that is normal.

and as for the post about that i am a high school kid that thinks i have 1000hp...........you need to not have such a steriotypical attitude towards high school kids..............and no i dont have 1000hp..............i have 285 ...............so as in my normal reply. Sorry for saying "break loose".......i guess we all have different terms for that saying......i just mean chirp a little. thanks

Scott

 

A "chirp" huh? Does the car have a shift kit? Did someone stick a programmer on it and change shift points or firmness? Is there one of those SLP shift modules on it? BTW with Firehawk SZ50's and a relatively stock engine, I would be looking into tranny slippage, or clutch bands. My Z doesn't even bark at 80 and I have the BALD A** Goodyears that were on it when I bought it (it does do a mean a** burnout from a standstill though).

 

hey scott, just wondering, but why would you drive the ford daily when you have a pretty stock camaro, its not that bad on gas milage... hell it sure dosnt get 10 mpg like mine :P

 

You might want to shorten your sig. No need in listing everything. It's only suposed to been no more than four or five lines. Nice setup though.

 

It's called sarcasm, not stereotyping and 285 h/p doesn't break the tires loose at 40, 50 or 80 mph. Just needed to hoist the BS flag.

 

i bark third at about 75% throtttle if i shift from 2nd around 4k. ive never tried 4th but im sure at wot it would scratch that too.

 

unless its stick ur *** isnt getting sideways in 2nd with a pretty stock car

trans isnt doing so good is my opinon

 

Automatic trannies dont seem to take well to high speed runs, but they just dont plain last forever either. Maybe if you gave up 100HP and threw in a TH400 you wouldn't have to touch it till you started making big power, I'll stay with my stick and clutch setup.

 

i never said i was getting sideways in second.......i was just wondering if yalls tires slipped a little..............sorry for all the controversy that i have started........................................... ..............................oh and to reply to the post about my tempo.......i do that just keep from racking up the miles on the camaro.....thats the only reason ...and i have it, so why not drive it (it only has 46k on the clock).....and the camaro has 72k......so ya know


anyways........and i you can put your bs flag down, because all my friends can attest to the tires breaking and spining at 40mph (not spinning enough to put me sideways, but they do spin.......and i never said that i ever got sideways so i dont know how you came up with that).......they only chirp a little at 80 (unless its a belt that im hearing, as someone stated earlier)
