So what years are all the complaints of no burnouts? I was pretty sure it was 05/06. I know my 03 will do it. Just 04? Doesn't seem right. I've seen several people complain that the car will just cut power almost immediately.

Edit: Here's a thread on it.

I have an 06 now and there is no way around it. My 04 never had that problem either.
