I still hope this forum is for car enthusiasts, and not influenced by a bunch of adolescents with low self-esteem trying to have others notice them by this childish routine of peeling out. But (sigh) I may be wrong.

Amen Chekov. Couldn't agree more, my friend. Glad you decided to stop in and share some words of wisdom with us. Much appreciated.

For stopping in, I leave you with this...

That's too bad, but let's keep our sexual preferences off the forums.

K, thx, bai.

G37 can squeak the rear tires pretty easily. I keep it in D with VDC on all the time. Just stomp on the gas pedal. Actually I don't see why people even bother with manual shifts. You bought an AUTOMATIC to not worry about changing gears. 7AT shifts pretty good. I don't even pay attention to RPM. To go faster, just step on the gas. Let the system figure out how to get it to move. One time at a shopping center, I got impatient waiting for some woman to back out of her parking spot, so I just stomped on the gas to move on. Nice loud squeak. I think it scared her because she braked hard and jerked her car.

The issue is not getting the chirp/squeak from what the OP was asking. I understand peeling out to be at least a car length of marks on the ground. That's prolly not going to happen though without much power than stock and a compliant surface type.

You can do it just have to time it right. Press the break half way just enough so the back breaks aren't on. gas in until the tires start to chirp. As soon as this starts release the break and mash down on the gas. Time it right and you'll get a nice burn through first gear and depending on how much tire you have and the surface some of second too.

I don't jump on the forums much at all anymore...this thread is a good reason/reminder to me of why.

To the site admins and forum owner, less garbage please...

Ha, got back from a drive today. Nice empty stretch of road, I got a NICE peel out that lasted halfway through second. Freakin' felt great. Though it required using the brake. But I had just the right combination of brake and gas I guess.

I bet taking out the spare tire would help lighten the rear a bit (knock on wood). I know there are a bunch of people with Zs who preferred a better stereo over their spare tire. And my tires are W rated summers. If anything can take punishment, it's gonna be them.

I was looking at the Stillen site and saw a couple of tuning kits like COBB. What do those do, exactly? Do you plug em in to your ECU or summin?
