Question Can you light up the tires?

Can you smoke the tires off the line? Of course, when its dry. I leave easily a 20 footer. And thats not even full throttle.

Neal, Im curious to hear what you can do!

The way I drive - when I run the quarter mile drag - they time me with a calender.

The 4.2 gives a slight chirp with the 3.55's, but my 78 F-150 with the 400 inch Merc will do the one wheel peel for 32 feet. I did my finest wheel roast around Thanksgiving in front of the house to impress my kids. I measured the stripe with pride. The wife says I'm a nice guy, but that I'm just not right.....LOLOLOLOL.....

They spin to the point that it's almost annoying.
And it's REALLY bad on wet roads.

If it's a burnout you are asking about well I can tach out at 5700rpm in 2nd gear with the truck at a stand still!LOL! Mabey thats why I have to buy my 3rd set of tires already and my truck is only 11.5 months old!LOLOLOLOL!!!!
