Reason I say "too much grip" is utter bullshit for why an SS/SC will snap an axle on street tires is 1) they're street tires and 2) the stock Pirellis HATE heat. They lose all grip when they're hot. I used to auto-x mine and by the third run they were so warm that I could barely control the car. So if you burn out and heat them up, you're getting WAY LESS grip in the tires...
Because the bad men will come back and kill a kitten if you don't race? BS...you never HAVE to race.
Um, OK. Won't deny there are ******** with SS/SCs, but goddamn do I see a lot of ******** in other Cobalts too.
Hopefully no one else is involved in this lesson. A nice one-car-wrapped-around-a-telephone-pole should do nicely to serve as a lesson.

only makes a difference if you drive a civic.... they like to do things that don't help, but claim that it makes a huge difference.

What do you mean? The guy may not have been warming up the tires, but I hear doing an 8k burnout at the rev limiter really warms up the vtAk, and it's DFP that vtAk is 273% more effective when it's warmed up...that's like 2 extra HP!

Just throwing my $.02 in.
I wouldn't post up when I beat a car that was all broken or what not. It would be like saying you beat a 7 foot tall kid in basketball , only to find out the kid was in a wheel chair and partially retarded.

Thats like me saying i beat a c6 z06 but he was parked, and you guys are just proving your own point wrong, if he dodged the burn out box the second time then what you are saying would be false! Your are saying that doing a burn out heats up tires stock tires and makes them sticky there for if he did a burn out the first run he should have broken em then?

If you care so much about performance and your such a racer and your backing him up then yea? Personally if you goal is to go fast what in the world would you spend that on a sounds system? Personally i would never put that much money into a system iam more concerned with the motor, but yea i guess it could be considered rice when you spend more money on your sound system then your motor.
