Brenton

 

I can't smoke em in first gear, damn auto.

 

lol, a i/e 3.0 chirpin 3rd. Ill believe that when civic are made with v8s from honda.

 

its a 04 chevy 4.8 srry mis type white 77 k@n intake, and it i cant get rubber in 3erd gear ill kiss ur a$$ i'll put a vid on here and let u hear and its stock dude it's a ford come on they dont make ****! :-) dont hate appricate

 

a reply to that is better off not posted. Ill be looking for that vid.

 

 

Are you sure its not your fan belt squeaking when the A/C disengages.. and you just happened to be in third gear when it happened?


Most cars pushing 500 horsepower cant even chirp third gear.. not unless yoru dumb enough to elt the first and second gears burn rubber while you launch on a third.. and thats impossible on a 3.0 =)


I mean, if you have a vid, I would love to see it, and would fantasize as to how you did it with that engine

 

LMAO!!!

Getting rubber in 3rd?? With a stock 3.0L?? Can you send me whatever you're smoking...please.

You running slicks with WD/40 too??? LOL

 

Saaaaaaaaaame Here...I cant wait to see it

 

x2 was it raining or the road was wet?

 

churpin the tires in 3rd? Nice.. But i can soo top that! With my trucks Flex coppasitor i can acctually jump time zones in 2nd gear!!

 

I believe him.

I could easily chirp third on my last set of tires (balding Dueler Revos).

But my effective ratio is 4.33 with the smaller tires.

These Michelins are much harder to break loose.

I specifically recall (hating) the Firestone Wilderness (replaced by BFG Long Trails under the recall) OEM tires also chirping third when the truck was brand new. It's all about the hardness of the tread compound.

 

YEah, im just givin him ****.

 

Prove it!! I have a 3.0 thats not stock and I can't bark second, same damn engine as you.

 

I can say.. when I was goofing off with my brothers honda civic behind me when we were coming home from town one day.. I was going up a wet offramp and decided to have some fun.. so i slowed down, popped it into first and spun my tires all the way up through third gear... that was fun, but thats using a 4.0 on a wet slick onramp (uphill) on one of the seasons first rains.. which means slick roads around here.

 

I can't spin the tires in first gear unless I'm turning right.

 

I can burn in 1st and 2nd and chrip 3rd with my 91 2wd 3.0 with a 5 speed. It only has 215's to spin though.

 

yeah i can only burn 1st and 2nd, but i can chirp second with my wheeler or sled in the back thats about it, no chirping 3rd... ive tried plenty of times

 

My 91 S10 Blazer 4.3 stick(car before my Ranger) would wheel hop like mad while peeling out in first. It would wheel hop so mad that it would deploy the air brake early(rear hatch with a broken lock).

 

stock 3.0 getting rubber in 3rd gear. does it also substitute as a nasa space shuttle?

 

meh. rubber in 3rd with a stock tired 3.0 is easy. i used to get 3rd gear burn in my 97 2.3....



all it takes is the ability to work the clutch, and the lack of concern for tearin **** up.

 

i can burn 3rd in my focus. I also raced a SRT-4 neon in my ranger once. And won! (i took it on the curves). But as stated above, thats with a "lack of concern for tearin **** up."

 

sitting still and a water pit obviously help. you would never chirp 3rd in a 2.3 if you launched from a dead stop.
