    I still don't see how you could be "breaking loose" at 100 mph. It takes a lot of HP to do that. I know of plenty of cars with wayyyy more than 380 whp that won't "break loose" at 100 mph. I'm not trying to rain on the parade, but I just don't see how you're doing it unless you're driving on bald tires in the rain.

    Well I think that you may be hitting 100 mph on the speedo WHEN the tires slip, but I don't think you're actually GOING/ROLLING at 100 mph.

    I have 10" tires in the back of my car too. I can spin them thru the gears if I want to, but the only way I would "break them loose" at high speed is in the rain. Even then, with half bald tires, I'd be hard pressed to do it at any speed above like maybe 60 mph at best. After that, it's really just hydroplanning and not spinning. This is why I don't see how, with 380 HP, in the dry, rolling, at 100 mph.....you could "break loose".

    Just being honest.

    with my old 17's i could hit it from 60 and break loose for almost all of 3rd then when i go to shift into 4th it would break loose again for a sec. I dont mean like i just spin all through fourth
