well you have a v6 and with overdrive on in my 1990 2.3 auto in the rain i can get the tires to spin so i don't know why yours doesn't do it.

With my O/D on, if I punch it hard and quick right after letting off the brake, I can get it to peel out a bit. I dont' do it very often, I just have once or twice. I need to save the tires. haha.

i think you mean traction control, and those years didn't have traction control.



i suggest putting it in 1 with od off and powerbraking it

powerbrake it to at least 2k RPM b4 letting off...you should be able to spin off the line. But if you realyl want to have fun get a manual [sm=gears.gif]

I also suggest you do this at ngiht when its cooler and you're tires have less traction.. ..plus you wont grab as much attention as well

thats wierd my 96 v6 woulr do some nice burnouts and it was stock. turn off the od and floor it. if that doesnt work put your left foot on the brakes then once the car stops use your right foot to give it some gas till the tires start to spin then gun it and let go of the brakes.

my guess is not enough low end torque maybe..i used to have a 1995 v6 auto and could barely burn out in dry weather..rain was no problem of course

How can you not spin out in the rain? My 97 3.8 Auto Camaro could get to 70 MPH and I wouldn't be moving anywhere.
