since I put the RB aluminum flywheel in my NA last year (w/ a centerforce dual friction clutch) I'll get a little tire spin (not chirp, spin) on a fast redline shift to second w/ my 235/45/17 rears. shift like that when the car is being turned and you can induce a nice slide

if only I had an LSD...

Please do not make the mistake of assuming that I am a newb who does not know how to drive. I drive for a living and I am perfecty aware that the engine, clutch, tranny, driveshaft, differential, and tires will not like my driving style.

Yah, econo boxes with good clutches can spin,chirp the tires too. Also spinning and chirping the tires could be from the car has poor grip and not awesome power.

How many people can spin the tires withOUT dumping the clutch?

spin 'em a bit if you're goin around a corner or facing uphill

proteges will smoke 'em in the first gear of the auto too...

my chevette will chirp into 4th (out of 4) so it's clearly not a function of power....
