hosser Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 my 3.4 in my 95 cutty will chirp for a good 3 to 4 seconds on hmm; i like to call them good days:?: i have 138,000 on it and i know the previous owner pretty well, he pretty much gives a new meaning to car abuser; he took 6-7, or more trips to texas from michigan with the car, and i have seen him tranny drop other cars so im sure that was done to my poor car in the past :? . when the original transmission went out something broke loose in the transmission (i forgot the part spyder gear maybe something with the differential) and actually TORE through the trans housing. Why i bought the car i dont know:bash: Sometimes i can brake them free for long enough to get up past that dreaded 4grand deadspot and then have them smoking. The tread is pretty worn that helps im sure but on other days the power fluxuates. Try brake torquing; but dont launch your first few times doing it. Watch your rpms see if they bounce around when its torqued up; if they arent steady go from there have it diagnosed your loosing power somewhere; maybe dyno it see how much power is getting to the wheels?

hannibal64 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 my cobra the aftermath....tires were like hot bubble gum .. still have rubber in there 2 years later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal_GS_1989 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Pfft. My 1989 Buick GS doesn't chirp/spin the tires w/ the 3.1! And that's w/ my tires at the PSI maxium on the tire - 44 PSI!?! Just get a newer vehicle if you want to churp the tires - plus I'm sure the cops are just looking for a free ticket! 8) Hehehe. Mine can leave a pretty good little patch of rubber. IDK why, but my 3.1 feels a lot stronger than it should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcrow Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 The last engine I built (350) didn't get real strong until about 5000 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospeeder Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 my car burns out on almost brand new tires! Low end torque on these 3.1, plus the turbo, man it will squeel, then the turbo will start boosting, and it just roasts them, all the way through the gear then grips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK why, but my 3.1 feels a lot stronger than it should Mine was just like that here in the Detroit area w/ warmer (75+F) weather. Felt very-very stronger..seems to like warmer temps. My tires are also AA traction and AA tempature... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99RegalGS Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 do i only see one mark there?? If you look closely i actually did have both going for about 5 feet. lol. But yeah, it was mainly a one wheel wonder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt_Crank Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 my Z didn't chirp either... then it got shitty tires, lol when it's wet out, though, I can tag the speedo before I'm through an intersection (with both tires spinning... yay for heads out the window! lol) right now, I've gotta brake torque to get it to chirp, though... I've yet to peel out from a dead stop on pavement... but despite all the mudding and snow idiocy, I've yet to do a one wheel wonder in my Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddflash Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I'm suprised the 3.4L can't do more than that especially with a 5-speed. I'm not flaming or anything I would just expect it to lay nice patch's, just look at what my tired 3.1L will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
