How far can you leave rubber? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TIMSPEED · 10-28-2004, 01:27 PM

Let's here it. How far can you leave rubber in your C10?
Last night, I jumped on it from a dead idle, no flashing of the converter or anything, on a GRITTY road (slurry sealed) and left them for 75' (Measured it

)

LOHRTBT · 10-28-2004, 02:43 PM

You dont have much to do huH? lol

wedgemon · 10-28-2004, 02:48 PM

Clutch slipping - idling then slammed. 22 feet. But, working on it.

bigblock73 · 10-28-2004, 02:48 PM

two marks or one? If it is one, I am not impressed.

LOHRTBT · 10-28-2004, 03:00 PM

Tires cost too much...Not inclined to find out lol

Agreed. It would be fun, but then you'd have to buy new tires and the fun would be over.

Destructo · 10-28-2004, 03:57 PM

about 50ft when the asphalt is wet... both tires spinning, 1st, 2nd and catching it in 3rd, but I guess wet pavement doesn't count huh? hehe.

86 Red_Bowtie · 10-28-2004, 03:10 PM

You must have lots of money for tires.

cliffsta · 10-28-2004, 04:26 PM

well, depending on how red is running (which not well as of late), from idling i can floor it and they break loose; never measured. Maybe when its time for new tires i'll light these up.

cochino12 · 10-28-2004, 04:40 PM

I cant

76cheyenne · 10-28-2004, 05:01 PM

Half a block in the 78 and about the same in the 76 but they Have all terrains now if they had street tires that would be a different story.

Devil'S Ride · 10-28-2004, 05:51 PM

With my M/T's it doesnt take much more than a sideways glance at the accelerator to light em up...an keepin up goin isnt hard either....the only problem I find is that at $200 a tire, I try to do that as little as possible....which takes a lot of clutch work. lol.

last measured (guesstimated) stripe with old tires an this engine was about 20-30 feet. that was with auto trans, jumpin on the pedal.

My 1980 c20 I built an old vette motor for, camel hump heads etc.....an I could fry tires thru third gear rolling or at a stop, an lay stripes for about 100 feet. or more, but I ran out of rpms....lol man I miss that truck.....the ultimate sleeper....

Russell · 10-28-2004, 06:02 PM

Right now the GMC will chirp them if I give it a healthy amount of gas, I find it won't spin if I floor it, but will chirp them if I give them about half throttle. Never tried with the brakes yet, still a bit worried about the rear end giving in on me before I am ready to start driving the Toy...

*1FaastC10* · 10-28-2004, 06:11 PM

does it really matter? spinning tires are a sign of not enough gear, or inadequate suspension. i'm planning on spending around $300 a tire, and spinning an already soft tire is just ridiculous.

*1972C10* · 10-28-2004, 06:37 PM

Anybody can build a tire burner I prefer mine to hook and go straight.

BADGMC · 10-28-2004, 07:07 PM

Well to date the longest set of marks I have left was measured at 316 ft. One of my friends had to go back up and measure them with his measuring wheel from work. That is with 275/60 cooper cobras with a heat up for about 4 seconds and shift into high gear and let em burn. If I ever get a nice day before the white stuff falls maybe a video to share will be a plan.\______________________________________________

Now thats a burn-out

**N2TRUX** · 10-29-2004, 09:01 AM

I can leave rubber marks for 300-400ft in my 77 Cheyenne.

I get going about 85-90 mph and stomp on the E-brake......

bigblock73 · 10-29-2004, 09:25 AM

Does this count?

That was round one...in round two I nuked the posi and blew a tire.

LMAO @ Ken!!

LMFAO

CHEVYE · 10-29-2004, 02:38 PM

i`ve got a one legger rear with a 273 gear going through my .30 over 454. lets just say it`ll leave a good patch. i peeled the whole tread off of a tire once (old set of course) and it just spit it right out and left a mound of rubber behind my truck. i`ve got a few good pics to post when i get home. if i had to guess i`d say it would lay a couple hundred feet.

The Dude · 10-29-2004, 03:51 PM

on a good day i can sqeek my 38's... but at $316 a tire theres no reason to want to

CHEVYE · 10-29-2004, 05:05 PM

ahh hears one. that`s on 31-10.50`s and a mile high gear. i`d hate to see it with a 4.11 or something low.

gldevall · 10-29-2004, 05:29 PM

Well, I can back mine up. This is about 75'.
