Ahh, the magic of decent tires. You should have seen the burnout I could do before I put the Firehawks on there. The Firehawks are sticky enough that I didn't want to risk the driveline by repeated attempts. With the Firehawks you had to brake torque it enough to break the tires loose and then it would do it, and it was the loudest burnout I think I've ever heard. Even got a cop to come on by and tell me that I'm little too old to be acting that way. That was the first and last time I did it in the 66 with the Firehawks.
