I'd rather do spin outs in my 84 300zx turbo.. I use it when for fast, fun rides. The Blazer gets me out in the middle of nowhere in North Central Arkansas. Only time I spin in it is when the road gets rough. It's tough and I like it.

Couldn't get the old, tired, original, oil-burning 4.3 in the '89 to do one ....

but my former '72 El Camino did them effortlessly ... even though they were "one-leggers". This one was over 200 feet long.

factory 3.42. Im not sure what i have. when i got it the front and rear diffs had silicone around them. It sure does have alot of bottom end take off. I need to drop the cover and count the teeth etc. some of the bolts are rounded off and i just havent cared enough to fix it.

I can't do one in mine, when I press the breaks then the gas the break pedal gets too hard to hold. Am I doing it wrong?
I can spin both tires when it's wet out, the other day I had it sideways in the rain down the street thanks to the G80.
I just can't do the standing still ones.

Strange..I know in mine when i do it,as SOON as i let off the gas the brake petal gets soggy and kinda makes a snap feeling when it drops then builds back up. Im guessing the lack of vacuum when the iac is resetting the idle or something. I dunno.

I don't know, I'm not that worried about it though. I can live without doing burnouts every week.

Edit:
Ok so I did one today, apparently my problem was that I'm an idiot sometimes.
