watchin n ol boy in his ol 70 vet blippon the throttle n shed lite right up ...makes me curious ifn this ol girl i been werkin on will cut em loose??? try it dumb azz !! yea i konw but kinda like it runnin n nawt fuggan wid stuff ...ive tromped her good in 1st n git nothun but rpms...so how many a yous 4+3 stock types git loose without dumpin clutch hard???

I guess if they are not bolted on tight enough they will come loose from the vehicle yes.

As for spinning them, itll depent on the conditions as well as the tires.

I dunno pappy, it should be possibly with the stick, but you might have to dump it. The 84 had what, 205 hp stock? I used to break the tires loose on my 88 blazer 2.8 liter, but that was a stick. I sometimes have a hard time spinning with my 89 auto, but I have brand new tires that are pretty sticky.

With 205 hp an 84 might have a little trouble burning them off. My 95 A4 can light them up easily, but tires are too expensive to just waste (most of the time).

the 205hp means nothing to smokey burnouts... I would say it's the 290 ftlbs of torque.

With that said, Pappy made an interesting comment you all missed:

That leaves me with a question: When you get nothing but RPM's, does that mean the tach jumps up and not much else happens, or, does the car just go and that's that?

I would think you should be able to break the tires loose, especially with the manual.

I am of a mind to think the clutch is toast.

Test it:

1. Start car, making sure it's pointed to a safe, open space.

2. Put car into 3rd gear.

3. While applying throttle (2000~2500 RPM) and holding the brake (right foot), ease out the clutch.

3a. if the car stalls, the clutch is ok
3b. If the car keeps running, the clutch is toast.

My car can break em loose just stomping the gas and the tires arnt bald either. But they wont smoke, unless I power brake it...

Floor it from a standstill and they should light up easily.

It takes them a few seconds before they actually start burning. You'll probably need a clutch dump and/or some braking to do that.

We need a tech tip on how to do a burnout. I should put my old drag radials on and make a vid...

Get it on wet grass and they will spin.

Ice will work, too.

Get on it, man!

ok you bunch a rednecks!!! the bog mayun caught my fug up...i took it same way as reread later n figured someone would call me on a bad clutch!!! (good call there cheif) but jus my fugged up werding,,,she ain slippin (by alls i gits is rpms ) i mean git up n go!!! ive babied her so far...ive let clutch out n then stomped it n shell take off (no breakin loose)n ive hit it hard in a corner n alls i git is git up n go(which is what posed to git) i jus crious ifn she should (kids 95 LT1 trans am) will cut em loose with ease (thats a 275 hp 315 ft trq i think) i know on mine that previous er someone has juggeld feet to hit gas n dump clutch cuase it bent the cruise shut offs outta place...anyways i was jus curious ifn she should break ground with a simple stomp like the kids Lt1 ... paps ... (ps prolem wid that 95 trans is she ll ripe them stupid rubbar tranny mounts right in half and the spendee neparene er what evo too...but ony when i drive it ..kid is easy n jus likes its looks...right now alls i need is a fuggan boat !!been rainin like L fer three daze here 2"yesterday n pourin again now

It won't break free like an LT1...

For all intents and purposes, the C4 chassis was woefully under utilized in 1984. Hell, the LT5 didn't max it out, either. In short, 205 hp is not enough to overpower the chassis. But the 290 ft-lbs of torque should help.

Wind that motor up to about 2500 RPM and let the clutch go, you should get your smoke. But it is rather abusive to the driveline... Just be warned.

thanks bog...thats kinda what im after... i know i kin make her spin (well would hope) but ain lookin to fix cheeyut n tear cheeyut up in doin it...thats the answer i rekon been lookin fer...

You can't light em up if you can't light em up. The best you can hope for is talking about it on the internet.

Now go out and dump your clutch, it'll feel good I guarantee it. Your car isn't that fragile.

wahahahahaha ya fuggar cc...now yer gittun me in trouble cause its kinda been a hankerin on me er i rekon i wouldnt a asked ina first places...so ifn the rain evo gives up i ll have a take me a spin!!!!n ol elcomino i had i could let the ol clutch go n step the breaks n bring her down whilst stopmin the gas n shed cook em good evin wid n ol hiway muncie...now i ain inta shmokin my money (huh gave that up) no i mean in rubbar,,,but do need ta know what i kin do ifn have a mind too dig!!!! lotsa towns flooded round me rekon i might hafta go see how bad

well pappy if it is anything to you, mine won't sit and spin either.

Mine jumps and the tires squeal but they don't smoke up like the Bandits old T/A.

I guess I could dump the clutch and get a better reaction, maybe hold the foot on the brake..... but I try to practice good smooth yet fast starts.

thats bout way i got her pegged too jh ...hatfa give it a shot one day

Slam on the brake with yer right heel, gas with yer right toe and clutch with the left foot. Let her rip till 4th gear!

skeeeeeewhhheeeeeeeyuuulllll!!!!! oh baby i be the the redbneck ta say shell skeeeeewheeeeyuuuul them tires!!!! fug yea bruthas...ony once but heyhuh thats all a baby takes too right ....well heres me story see ...i were out on a country road hittun sum curves!!! my weenie was enjoyin the ride too n were hangin out the winder...well see i tunrt a slow curve n pulled my weenie down inta the seat!!! nawt full stopped n ony round 1800 n let her go n stomped that ol girl n bwwwwaaaaauuuukkkkk skeeeeeewheeeeeeyuuuul them tires yelped till i backed off gas...ok she passed my test...wooot wooot woooot! this fuggan fun toy is awmost fun as ol hogs n wild womin!!!
