Peeling Out
why can't i smoke my tires??? from a stop doesn't work, even with esp/abs system off (dyno mode). also, pressing the brake slightly and the gas doesn't do anything either. is the 2.6 L engine that freaking weak?

Oh cummon guys let the guy have his fun!
Answer to your question..
Yes the 2.6 is pretty weak and will you will have a hard time breaking those tires loose. Try pressing the breaks all the way and floor it.. if that doesn't work on the dry then try it in the wet!

I thought you already knew how to loose traction in the wet. And that was even without being in dyno mode. :p

c240
the reason you cannot peel out is because like me, we both drive the low power c240. Our cars dont have enough power peel out. If it was a 320 then its possible because i;ve seen people in the city with 320's doin it when they hold the brakes. the little amount of power our cars produce dont even produce it until like 4000 rpms anyway, unless you got a 6sp it aint happening sorry to nurst your bubble bro
