I love driving the F150, she doesn't run great, so when I floor it, she doesn't spin tires but still can throw you back in your seat, not much, but I love flooring it after stop signs and stuff

WTF?

If the vehicle 'launches' off the line without tire spin - that's exactly where you want to be. Creeping off the line is a whole different matter.

'Breaking traction' is just for show-offs.

You use the term 'she' a lot. I hope your girlfriend's name isn't F150, or I've totally missed the boat.

From wht I've read, the truck should spin tires a little when I push the pedalall the way down fm a dead stop, but it doesn't

the easiest way is to spin the tires is do like a clutch with the brake start givin it gas as you let off the brake

Do you guys get free tires or something?? Last time I checked out some tires for my truck they were like $210 a piece.


Oh and BTW my truck smokes the tires even when I barely hit the gas!!!!!

thats called power braking.

if you have had actual experience at the drag strip, launching with minimal break in traction is what you want. If you have an auto, flashing the convertor, meaning spinning to its max possible stall off idle before the secondary stator engages allows the engine to move further up into its power band is exactly what you want.
