This is hilarious. How can someone consider putting someone in jail for doing a burnout. I better be careful out there. Just wanted to chime in... I have a stock 82 SC with R compound tires, and I can do plenty of burnouts just fine.

Are you sure that isn't your clutch?

Your car is in Canadia....that explains a lot..

When I had stock suspension, Toyo tires, and a chip I could leave rubber on the ground if I was already up and rolling. Usually just got wheel hop and shut her down.

Now, with nice stiff suspension, R tires, and no chip I don't think I could spin anything but my clutch.

First gear, with a bit of steering input and I'll break the tail loose no problem. But that's not quite laying strips...

... hard to lay strips on ice. Lots of wheelspin... no black marks

I could do that all day for the first several years. Now with the better shocks, coilover springs, drop links, R compound tires, correct camber, spring plate bushings and such, the car stays connected. The LSD wants to lock up, but for the most part I would have to really want to break it loose to kick it out. Before, the back end was just a sloppy mess and went out without notice.
