think a stock 1600 would do burnouts?

Thu Dec 03, 2009 11:07 am

anything can do a burn out, if you really want it to.

You will need some slippery juice for a long one into second gear. Yes it works. :lol:

man i dont know what id do without the samba its a great site with great people :D thx for all the help much appreaicated

Since yer Bug is already stripped down and we all know yer gonna do a really good job fix'n it up, you could take the extra time to add a line lock/roll control device so burn outs are easier and more fun! :twisted:

Hurst makes a quality unit. This way you will have it installed and plenty of practice using it, until you finish buidling your 2275cc street engine!! :wink: Take yer time, all the good stuff happens when you start from scratch and experience every aspect of the fine ACVW.
