Looking sharp silver, I take it you had TC button off, did the stabilitrak make it hard to do those slides? I have to admit ive never pushed my car like that, there is not enough open space around here.

There are pluses and minuses to living in a small isolated town. Dead end highway 20 miles north and a ferry 20 miles south. If one times it right between ferries, the road is clear the whole way south and back. :wink:

The stabilitrak didn't activate because the backend never came out. The car just pushes the frontend in tight circles. That's one of the reasons I enjoy taking my RWD Firebird on similar runs....more tail out fun and power sliding. :twisted:

I never saw how much the front end rises and the rear end squats before looking at that one pic of me accelerating from a dead stop. It's no wonder we have traction limitations. :roll:
My son took that pic and I forgot to turn off the TC for that one shot....or it would have shown billowing smoke...which was my original intention....maybe next time. :oops:

Early on the way out, I came up behind one of only two cars on the road, a red 1977 Firebird who tried to stay ahead, but I took him on a straight at about 100 mph.....whoops no kill stories :oops: He tried to keep up but fell waaaay behind. I felt bad about it because of my Pontiac connection. :wink:
