I can hold the brakes and floor the gas pedal but it wont even spin the back tire one bit!?!? What could be wrong? Its decently fast for a V6. I added a Hooker exhaust and whisper lid.

Re: 1998 V6 Camaro cant do a burnout!?!?!?
I admit it's tough to spin 'em with the 3.08 gears. I have a Magnaflow catback exhaust and custom intake system with the stock 3.08 gear ratio and it's hard to spin 'em. Sometimes when it's cold, but not always when it's warm.
I'm throwing in 3.73 gears, a limited slip differential, shift kit, a cam, pushrods, valve springs/retainers, headers, and a tune this weekend (and early next week). I'll let you know if it loosens 'em up a bit. ;)
Oh, and I have a '98 3.8 A4 Camaro. -

You just have to time it right.

Re: 1998 V6 Camaro cant do a burnout!?!?!?
I totally agree, but I think his main complaint is that he can't slip 'em period while just nailing the gas. Am I wrong?Originally posted by Greg94Red392Comment

Do you have the Y87 performance package?
I've heard that people with this package (tighter steering, limited slip, 3.42s) can but others without it can't...Comment

Re: 1998 V6 Camaro cant do a burnout!?!?!?
Mine will just give a little squeak flooring it from a stop. I have the Y87 as well. You can powerbrake anything if you know how. Just practice.

Re: 1998 V6 Camaro cant do a burnout!?!?!?
you dont want to hold the brake to the floor. it can be hard w/ 3.08's. it also has alot to do with tires too. with good tires on my car i could dump it(m5) and leave a nice strip, if i held the brake it would inch forward and the clutch would slip a little bit so it would spin, slip, spin, slip.
bottom line with good tires and open 3.08s it wouldnt be suprising if you couldnt get it to budge.<a href=\"http://cardomain.com/id/articacid\" target=\"_blank\">2002 35th Anniv.

Re: 1998 V6 Camaro cant do a burnout!?!?!?
i have the stock 3.08's and after our last day of highschool senior year we all drive around the school and i did a few good burnouts. I've never really had any problems with em. I just mention that story cause it was hot out and it was on asphalt.Comment

Re: 1998 V6 Camaro cant do a burnout!?!?!?
That's a good point, too. I've got 245s on mine, which are pretty wide for 3.08s.Originally posted by articacidComment

Re: 1998 V6 Camaro cant do a burnout!?!?!?
I can't spin my tires too well either, and I have a manual. Its time for a new clutch :(. After I get it rolling forward with the clutch all the way out (otherwise it will slip like no other), I can floor it and get them to spin a bit. And its real easy when going around a turn...
