I've done it in our Neon... when it was wet... starts spinning 1st at ~4500 to 6000RPM's

but thats the only time it'd do it... and yes, its bone ass stock w/ 132HP? (SOHC)

I'm almost sure that's what he's saying. My friends car back home could spin tires if he was cruising at about 20 or so miles an hour or so, light on the gas, then stomp it. That's what the guy meant. Show me any import that can do that...
Not even big HP (import) guys can do that, not until the turbo kicks in anyway.

I could do that on my old set of tires

Go torquey KA!

Haven't tried doing it on the new set.

Actually I did that last night in the CRX. Stepped on the gas and burnt the tires up as soon as VTEC switched. It was kinda cool, I think this car's gonna be a blast.

plus, there's a big difference between chirping the tires and actually breaking them loose.
