944Fest (aka Dan P)

Umm, Rock.. IF you have them, do NOT post pics of this from your car. A lot of folks would be very turned off to see a 944fest project car abused this way. While some could make the argument it is less of a strain on the drivetrain to spin vs. a normal hard launch, it is serious abuse of the drivetrain and when parts let go you won't get any sympathy from a lot of us who see this thread.

Seriously, if you want to do this, get a Mustang, Camaro or a old Mopar

I really hate to see this done to fine german stuff. The oversteer in a turn is one thing, OK, but the clutch dropping burnouts should be punishable with driving a Yugo for a year.

Campeck, I bet your neighbors hate you. Seriously, I bet they do. If I pulled that in any neighborhood around here I would be arrested!

On a side note, nice hookah! That is the BEST picture of Rennlisters I have ever seen!!! LOL!!!

I have the camaro and dont play retard with the tires. I didnt do it with the firebird when i was campys age either. I have too much respect for the machine.

Dale has the funniest look on his face Ive ever seen in my life. That pic is hilarious. As Harry says, three major burnouts. Looks like a triple bong.

Open diffs will spin both tires occasionally, when conditions are just about perfect...

Especially when you shock them hard enough, usually before they go BOOM!

A little throttle modulation in the Mustang will provide plenty of traction loss, the strategy there is NOT to spin!

Naw man im done with the burnouts. Im more into the drifting game now, which I dont even do that often.

However I think the 944fest tranny is going kaputt anyway. There was a 2nd gear problem that is getting worse (syncros?). The tranny also makes very funny noises too, and whenever im in the rain the tires just spin or one tire drives normally, and the other tire just spins which sways the car in one direction.

Anyway! Im not planning on grenading the 944Fest, John D. limited edition 100 dollar speedometer less tranny anytime soon. Thanks still does go out to the 944fest crew! Yay!

Geez burnouts infront of your house? did your dad see them? hes gonna make you sell the car again!!!!!!!! Im a fan of spinning around a bit....but not clutch dumps....BAD..very BAD.

If you don't have LSD, and don't have great tires, in the rain the tire will spin a lot, very easily. Tire spinning has nothing to do with a bad tranny, and a non LSD tranny will cause you to drift to the side when the tire is spinning, because only one wheel mainly is pulling you (or spinning). Also, the soft springrate of the tortion bars in teh back, tend to induce some bouncing in the rear tire at times when spinning, at least thats what I found. I also have semi soft shocks.

Only problem with that is a Yugo won't run for a whole year.

Mighty Shilling

He's gotcha there....

fty - his dad started it :P
First time I've ever dumped a clutch in my 951, and I promised my 944 I wouldn't do that to it.
Don't plan on it again - feels mean.

Rock

WELL then. I guess my car has the whole sport rain package...

Bad shocks
Bald tires
Tilting to one side.... the list goes on and on, and so do the expenses

Yabo

LOL. I know how it feels. I still have my 3 different tires, and bald rears, and I have no money and have to rebuild my engine.

Serge944

How many times have you raced your friends maxima, again?

I figured out why campeck can abuse his car and not lose sleep...anything breaks; his dad is paying for it.
