Route 66

Ok,
I see Hotshots age now. 24 years old

Hey DP, how is Hotshot saving me $$$$$ in the long run? I'm now trying to picture a 24 year old in a ranger lighting-em-up.

All right. I'm appologize. It's not my business on how others take care of their cars.

The new lower control arms help eliminate the wheel hop. Holeshot--Not sure where your doing these burns at, but alot depends on the type of road or surface your driving on. Just My $.02

actually i am 25.....but i'll be the first to admit that i have the mentality of a child!...haha. i will never grow up, hence the burnouts.

i'd like to thank all you guys though for your input. it seems as though ford has out engineered my ability to burnout, which may be a good thing! dont get me wrong, i love this car, it is so fast...but dang with all that power, why does it have to hook up soooooo good. cant a brother just lay a nice patch every now and then? lol.

MY husband didn't have any trouble leaving a good bit of rubber on the road!

Three steps to smoke, black stripes and reduced clutch/tire life:
1. Rev to ~3800 rpm.
2. Sidestep clutch (Slip foot off left side) / drop hammer.
3. Enjoy smoke and black stripes until you bounce the rev limiter.

This works even with the T/C on, until it goes sideways. If you don't value your clutch and transmission, powershift in to 2nd ( don't lift throttle, tap clutch / slam 2nd when tach hits ~5200 RPM ) and you will get sideways on a bad road without the T/C.

If you really want to see smoke, disable T/C, gas it and sidestep the clutch while taking a right turn at about 3 MPH. If you can't smoke em then, and you don't end up in a ditch - it's time to head to the shop.

Personally, I am amazed at the traction this car has.

I did a 1st gear brake stand, and full on 2nd gear burn out in my 05, and its only a v6 (manual) so theres no reason your car shouldnt with another 80 ft/lbs of torque.
