I like finding new concrete bridges. Nice dark black marks show up good on the new bright grayish white color of the concrete.

I've heard that N/A cars loose 11% power every 2,000 ft., Not sure how that affects a boosted motor, but I also read that the GTP is supposed to be a 6.6 sec. 0-60 mph car, and best I get is 8 flat. I'm moving home in two weeks which is 300ft. above sea level, so maybe I'll have my answer then.

elevation kills FI cars. and i can spin tires most of the way threw first if i slam the gas from a stop. now if the roads are hot and my tires are warm from riding around im luck to get half of first. if i just dont slam it but roll into it pretty fast when my tires are hot and all it will only spin about 5 feet and not even leave marks. works good for getting out of hole

I hardly ever do a burnout. Almost never. If I do, it is just a quick blip of the throttle to get them to spin half a second, then I am done. I don't want to toast the trans. And so far, all is well.

And I agree, while big smoky burnouts may be crowd pleaser, why would any crowd want to see my high mileage daily driver smoke my cheap cooper tires? I will save the real burnouts for those with real power in fast cars.
