just a thought. my accord is automatic. right now i have my good tires on. they are yokohama's that arent but about a year and 5 months old, so they arent all old yet. since doing differnt things to my car, its upped the power a little. i used to be able to get the tires to slip a bit going into 2nd, but only if they were the old regular shit tires. anyway, i was getting onto the road from work so i had to pick it up pretty fast. it had been raining all day, so the road is wet. so i tried not to spin when getting onto the road, i did that. but when i went into 2nd, it spun the tires and pulled to the right some. kinda scary but cool. that was at the top of 1st gear going into 2nd. i know thats more likely to happen on a manual tranny, but not on automatics. anyone else get this happening sometimes on your automatic?

well shit, since i switched to falkens I can't get any slip unless i wind it up and drop the clutch (since i have one)
I used to have pretty good tires on my 89 civic 4door, and it was an auto. if i just put it to the floor she would chirp second pretty good and if it was raining i could get a good sliding pull.
she had alot of power for a dual point piece of shit!
have any of yall seen the D series distruction videos?
