Wicked burn out by a LS1 powered 3rd gen TransAm

I'll never get it then.

If I wanted to impress people with the power of my car it would be to go fast, by standing on the throttle, without the brakes applied.

My 1970 Buick would do impressive smoky tire-friers, but it wasn't because it was a race car. Face it, most cars have enough power to keep spinning the tires once they are broken loose and boiling.

I would have rather seen the TA do a 1/4 mile pass that demonstrates the ability of the car and driver.

But like I said, I'll never get it.

Its not a logical thing, smoke shows I mean. Its emotional and Mich is right. If you don't get it, then you never will. The smoke, burning fuel, the noise. Its emotion. I get goosebumps hearing some of these engines fire up and shred some tires.

Sure, I love 1/4 mile drag racing as much as any other gear head. But a good smoke show is always appreciated.
