Very easy to do burnouts in those cars
I've had my fill....just be aware that the Police can write you up for it
Not that I found that out....
You just heard it from a little birdie right? Lol

Like the Man said,
Speed Costs Money, How Fast Do You Want To Go!

You have a Heavy Truck with 3:55's.
3:73's or $4;10's would be better.
If you go with the 4:10's you won't be able to pass a Gas station.
Be happy with what you have. Spinning tires doesn't make sense anymore unless someone else is buying you tires and paying you to tear up your Truck. You will tear out your Transmission and rear-End & Spinning tires will be the last Mode you do with your Truck.
Some people can't afford a Truck. Why ruin yours.
Just my thoughts.
This doesn't represent Union or Management.

Good Luck

if there is a couple inches of snow or if there is ice on the road I will have a little fun on backroads and in parking lots but I won't just punch it on dry pavement.

I can do a burn out on dry pavement right through 4th gear .. Even with 35's, 20" rims 3.73 gears and a loaded up truck.. But I'm supercharged with a whipple 2.3

I usually save the burn outs for the wet days for the sake of my expensive tires, and I usually just keep it down to drifting the truck out when taking corners for a little fun..
