breakin the tires loose
i CANNOT break the tires loose in my rx8. i allways get hella wheel hop when i try. it does have new tires on it, im not sure what they are cause i bought the car used. does anyone have any recomendations on what rpm range i should try it at or if it can even be done. and im talkin about from a dead stand still here. like im trying to do a 0-60 run.

how do you suggest i hold down a button that isn't there. i told you there is not a traction control button. some of the rx-8's dont have it. mine being one of them. and yes it should be on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. so dont try and tell me that's where it's at.

you bought the wrong car if you want to do burnouts... wheel hop destroys your drivetrain. At the first hint of wheel hop, back off the throttle. It's not worth trashing your nice 8, especially when cars with more horsepower can do it effortlessly, and in many cases, do it when it's unwanted. You still want burnouts? get a car that has the ***** to do it.

then u have no option but to turbo it...cuz ur going to get wheel hop and if u dont have money for a turbo then u should get NX 50 shot.....if neither of those opinions work for u....then u should have bought a gay GT MUSTANG.
