Ah no, you cant just burn rubber like that. The most Ive got of the cars Ive driven, being both small (1100kg) and large (1400kg) is alittle wheel spin, you cant full on rip it up in autos, even when putting it into a low range gear it doesnt really work in most cases (It does fuck your transmission up though).
actually, get an old tarago, put it in D and press the brakes and the accelerator. puts sport cars to shame really. you could wear out your whole tyre on one run, or smoke the adjacent street, whichever occurs firstSchoolies_2004 said:
I was referring to Daddyk and how he said;
just make sure its not near your houseshortygb said:we got an old Tarago, i gotta try that one day!
Uh yeh it is, i was in our ford AU, in Drive, planted it and it did a burnout all the way up to 80 k's, so, your wrong ay.Schoolies_2004 said:
Or your just talking shit as usual (Certainly not the first time) :uhhuh:
It's easier in FWD. As a car accelerates (from 0), it's inertia (I'm no physics student) causes a lot of weight to drop on to the rear wheels in that moment. This can be seen in an exaggerated form when dragsters leave the line, and in the launch, their front wheels leave the ground. On rear-wheel drive cars, this weight forces the wheels down, making it harder to break loose. For FWD, the weight is further removed, and it spins easy.
Hmmm that logic sounds plausible... but the issue is whether enough of that weight of the engine is taken off the front wheels, I dont think so personally. In a RWD car, its alot lighter at the back with no engine their, and even with the weight being distributed at the back abit with the acceleration... I dont thinks its enough!
In defence though, peak torque and power is quite high up on my car but still.....
Yeah I still find it hard to understand though..... you have a very heavy engine at the front pushing downwards onto the tyres cos of gravity, there wouldnt be THAT much weight being pushed onto the back wheels. And with your cars... power could be a difference?
You're forgetting that there's enough weight on the rear axle to counteract the engine weight. It is more or less pushing down with the same force on both front and back. The Nms are the same, and that is what makes the wheels really spin. Sure, there are other factors, but this was a basic example.
It's hard to tell if he was being sarcastic or otherwise. But yes.
Well I doubt it, judging from other posts he is usually full of shit so I wouldnt be suprised!
dude, a stock ford wont do it off the line, becasue it doesnt have enough power in the lower revs to initiate the wheelspin in the first place. any wheelspin that might occur would be from either a slight/large turn, if you rev it up to about 3K before letting go of the brake, or after a little bit of traction (ie you hit over 30km/hr before torque kicks in and it starts spinning)DaddyK said:
Ummm I think you've shown you know jack shit..... and not just on this occasion (Although this seems to be your dumbest call yet). Anyway, I know a guy with an AU Ford, next week I will judge for myself... but lets just say, Im not holding my breath, burnout to 80km/h LOL -> IMPOSSIBLE
