From a dead stop how many of yalls v-10s will spin the tires. Our's wouldn't do it if its life depended on it unless the streets are wet. Its a 2001 excursion, i was just curious.

 

I have the one wheel peel and when my truck was stock it would barely spin the tire.Now it will smoke till it shifts into 2nd and catches traction then downshifts back to 1st.But I can control the shifting back into 1st thing, I let it roll some then nail it to control the spin.My next mod will be 4.30's or 4.56's with some kind of good locker or limited slip in there.Some V10's spin them easier than others for some reason.

 

With stock tires my truck spun em real easy. Now with 305's its not so easy. I can use a little bit of break and get the rear end to come around in a nice cloud of smoke.

 

What? Spin the tires? Me? Never!

 

Okay now this is whats really sad. This excursion will not powerbrake. I was just thinkin this excursion has michelins on it, i wonder if they just grip really well.

 

Hmm...even my friends Dad X w/ the 5.4 will pull a nice powerbrake...

Tire pressure too low in the rear maybe?

 

Yeh, it depends on the road surface. within 1 hour of owning it I had to find out if mine would break em loose. Leaving town at the last stoplight it left about 2 10 yard hazy black streaks on the asphalt, the bseg had began. then I put on the 285s, took my father inlaw out and trompted on it and away they went, I was impressed. so one of my buddies was back (whom owns a HEMI, dare I say it) I took him for a ride and I'll be damned but I tried twice and it was just being a dog that day. Thats more of an issue than anything, somedays its an animal and the next it'll be a dog, many have experienced this.

 

Mine was a factory order and the first time I drove it , I burned a patch of rubber as I took off . I had traded my 04 PSD in and I was so used to having to give it so much throttle to overcome the turbo lag that the 3 valve V10 caught me by surprize. I had a red face and my wife called me a stupid *** but I still had a BSEG.
SLE is right about the split personality of the V1O. What a sweet feeling when she's a tiger instead of a baby cat. ( edited to beat the stupid censor stars and what the hell is wrong with *****) When she's hot , you just want to spend your time looking for red lights and Dodges.

 

My '01 doesn't want to unless I'm already beating on it, then it wakes up and will gladly spin one tire (even with the limited slip) - I have a 3.73 rear.

I can get both going sometimes, but that's rare, but when it does, they won't stop spinning...

 

No problem for me, the limited slip locks up and both 305's spin away, sometimes too easily, especially when you don't want them to.

 

Sometimes, I have to work at it to get them to light, and sometimes it surprises me and I get smoke rolling off the right rear. Tires makes seem to make a difference also. I have rear drums, so it's a little easier to power brake, but then sometimes, NOPE, NOT GONNA SPIN. After I've towed my TT and I'm leaning on the honk pedal I've had second chirp on brand new pavement (we have lots of that around here, they're putting houses and roads in as fast as the politicians can cash the bribe checks). When I can't get smoke, I crank the wheel left or right for a second with the brakes on and the weight transfer will get beautiful smoke to appear. Now if I could only bottle it as after shave, ah, glorious smoke, makes me hungry for an import,,,,,,,,

 

Mine will never do it if going in a perfectly straight line. With the limited slip it is hard to get both wheels going. If I had 4.30 gears instead of 3.73 whell maybe. If the differential is in slip and one wheel spins. Well I can leave half the tire in the road.

I just tried it once in a while. My $35k baby has to last many many years to come.

 

Yup, sounds like mine... I can light both up pretty good with a little power braking, holding it in 1st, then shifting to 2nd, I can leave a pretty double stretch about 150 feet long on slippery asphalt. Can't (or at least, won't) do that on blue-stone

 

No problem here. It's all in the timing and how much throttle to give it. Taking the foot off the brake, and giving it 3/4 throttle will do it.

Bwahaha lol. Sounds like my ex g/f...glad she's gone
