Lit them up

Lit the pirelli's up for the first time in 3500 miles last night. It was everything that I thought it would be. Very lose rear end. She went one way then the other. Loved it. Almost needed a smoke afterwards.

Maybe the restraint was caused by tires costing $250 each.

That would be my guess! I run a tire store and still think about that cost every time I hit the gas hard! But damn it is so much fun!

I have about 1100 miles...and a V6. Is "power braking" necessary to light 'em up with the motor with two missing cylinders?

No just turn off the traction control. I can get mine to light em up pretty easy. All though now that I have my new wheels and tires, I have not tried it recently.

All I get is horrible wheel hop.. It sucks..

Thinking about investing in some BMR Trailing arms to eliminate the Hop.. Because of that I never lite them up unless im going around turns then she slide.. But from a dead stop .. no way
