You can easily spin both rear tires with an open rear if you know how to set up your suspension and have enough torque to break loose the left rear tire right away.
The stock V6 should have enough torque to break loose the rear end, right? Can my stock setup do a powerslide? I haven't really tried it, since the engine is still not broken-in yet.

By powerslide, are you talking about going sideways? Or, spinning the tires going in a straight line?

I haven't driven the new V6's, but they should have the torque, as they aren't far off from the old 5.0L Foxes (just have about 1000 more pounds to deal with). The tires may be too good for the engine to overcome, however.

If you want to wake up that sixer, start with a set of gears (4.10's...if they're available for that rear).

BTW, spinning your tires really doesn't do you a whole lotta good. That's power that's better used to get you going faster.
