If you can do a thing doesn't mean you should do a thing. Your automatic trans would not last long. To say yes i can do a burn out with my automatic trans and ruin the trans for that purpose means to me you have more money than brains lol.

had a guy bugging and bugging me to do a burn out (classic old idiot with truck syndrome) for so many reasons that need not be explained i refused.
i never understood why slipping the wheels was so cool.... my wheels all the time in the rain and it's annoying and costs $. all we need is plastidip to make this thread even better, keep up the good work.

Ok yeah it may be bad for the trans, but it's POSSIBLE to spin the rear wheels in one place. I don't do it often. In fact I don't do it at all. I only caught while trying to drag race a friend. I put my left foot brake and floored it, and my rear wheels started to spin in one place. TC and DSC were still on! Soooo it can be done man.
You are correct, it can be done i don't dispute that. You hit the nail on the head when you said it will hurt the trans and other things as well. If it's just about can you do a thing , yes , but should you or in this case can you afford to do it ?. i said that because i know some of the folks have the money to track their 8's and some of us don't have a budget for that kind of thing. I think some may agree trying to do a burn out with an automatic holding the brake pedal to the floor and hitting the gas hard is really a waste of time considering the automatic has almost no real torq and for the risk of trashing your automatic transmission isn't a real advisable thing to do. ?.

Stupid is as stupid does lol. That was a great example of just because you have $ doesn't mean you are smart lol lol lol.

FYI bald tyres = better grip. because more of the tyre is connected to the road.
you can see the slick tyres on F1 cars
The regular tyres that we use are all purpose for all weather and road types.
Having said that,Bald tyres are very bad in the wet, as the tyre becomes saturated with water and looses its friction with the road.

f1 tires are very very hi tech. bald street tires are not slicks. i had pit passes to an f1 race years ago and a friend asked to see if i could get used tire for his man room. the pit guys said no way. they were scared i gould give tire to their rivals or other tire company to steal trade secrets. plus if you look closely i dont think they are all "slick". sportbike tires are another good example. ive been riding for years and trust me you dont want a worn tire going those speeds

Smaller tires make you go faster because more rpms.

It isn't so much about the tire being bald to give it more grip as it is about the compound the rubber is made of. They have a compound today that has made a 80,000 mile tire. If a tire is made of a hard compound , even if it was bald it wouldn't provide the grip because the compound is too hard and would produce a spinning non grip sitiuation , where a soft compound tire like a racing slick would grip the road because it is a softer compound.

Gonna start reposting this whenever this thread gets bumped.
With the proper technique and car it should look something like this: 2010 camaro ss burnout smoke show!!! - YouTube

Lol not at all, science, more surface area is connected to the road = more grip
But further to my last post, regarding wet weather, the "slicks" are bad for road elements that you may come across such as dirt and oil, serparating the grippy surface are from the road.
The tread on your tyres is designed to separate the oil/dirt/water and place these road contaminates within the tread and not on the outer surface of the tyre.
More science, surface area is directly proportionate to the friction between 2 surfaces, even if the materials are not great at producing friction, every material will under go friction and more surface area = more friction.
I can provide mathematical proof of this if needed.

Are you implying that the coefficient of friction will somehow change depending on the surface area or that the force of friction isn't equal to the coefficient of friction times the normal force..?
#98
apologies for my surface area comment earlier. it is incorrect. There will be no added or less friction.
More surface area will just disperse the downward force in all directions, where as treaded has the force directed to the outermost point of the tyre. Force will be consistent, as will the coefficient of friction.
I was thinking of the two phone books phenomena.

Also, bald tires are typically old which means they've been out in the sun longer and have been heat cycled a berjillion times. This will cause the rubber compound to harden and decrease µ.
