The first time I stomped it was when I had just gotten the car and was on my way home from high school. I was sitting at a stop sign to make a left and there was absolutely nobody around me. So I stomped it and turned. I did just enough fishtailing to scare myself. I must have been on gravel since there is no way the car would have been able to do that, atleast not bone stock.

When I move it in the driveway though, I enjoy popping the pedal. The car jumps, exhaust rumbles and leaves two beautiful trails mapping my path(gravel driveway). I don't care if I look like a lunatic doing it, it's fun.

I do that all the time...although, never when the engine is cold.

There's a back road I take into work sometimes, and there's a small intersection where it turns out onto a big straight stretch. I quite often dump the clutch out of the intersection (coming out half sideways) and then nail it the rest of the way down the straight...it's fun :)

I had the car for 2 days. I was in the parking lot at the gas station where I worked with a friend of mine. We had to see what it could do. It was a bit slick and I whipped it around twice....right as my parents drove bye. They weren't too pleased with me :)

Yes, Yes I have. More often than the tires would like.

Burnout pics

Not all that impressive in the pics but the best I could do becasue nobody would ride with me and take teh pics while I was doing them.

Every once in awhile I just like to stomp it from a stop just to hear the tires scream and feel the car rush forward. Only problem is that I don't like to buy new rear tires every three months so I don't do it too often;) .

Ahh, when was raining in my town, i used to do a hard launch in the gravel, and was ultra fun to try to control the car, without decelerating....and yes, with a 3.8....otherwise my car cant do a little burn at a stop.....

Now looks like a theft recovery, i even not washed it since october....

Every time I drive the car I shift it extra hard, foot to the floor all the way. Sad thing is it doesn't really go any faster.

Pulled outa my neighbor hood just a week or so ago hit it through the turn. (first time hitting it since the rebuild) didnt expect the power roasted through first, near end of first back end started coming around hit second then had to lock brakes cause i was looking the oppsite direction when the rear spun around. I would have kept in the throttle but trafic was coming. Was alot of fun, Gotta find me an empty parking lot so I can get a video made up.
