Because you get no traction on dirt thus creating the tires too spin.

Its not a full posi traction, if you drop the clutch you will get it on tarmac, but burnouts are pointless.</P>

I thought we covered this in the last post. You could, for about $450-500 get a complete posi-traction gear assembly or detroit locker (not installed), or rebuild your current clutch and save yourself a bunch of money (even if you had a shop do it). All late model mustangs came stock with (limited slip) rear ends. They just wear out on occassion, that's it.

I don't know vfast, I live on a dirt road but have never tried a burnout.<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"> Maybe I'll hang it all out in the morning and pi$$ off some of my neighbors. Who knows, I may never drive on asphalt again.
