ASR? and someone plz tell me if 6speedz28's method would be ok to do / try?!?

not like i can try it soon anyway, car is back at the dealers for the 4th time getting the rear fixed... they decided to put an open 3.42 rear on my car after it went back twice before to make the Whining go away... lol. And its raining

 

17 with a brand new LS1

sheeezz.


u say ur car is BRAND spaken new??
and yet its been in the shop 4 times for the rear??

hmmmmmm i think i can put 2 and 2 together.

 

we bought it with 25 miles on it. At 500 the rear started whining. we sent it back and they put heavier rear fluid in it. Still whined.. Sent it back, they replaced the dryshaft. Still whined. Sent it back replaced whole rear and axes... stop whining but put an open rear in it. Now it is back there now getting a positive traction rear with 3.42 gears. Dealers are gay and will try to slip anything by u.

 

Yep ... like the fact that every M6 comes with 3.42 gears ...

 

well i can understand that, but dewd u got a brand new LS1...at 17!!

take care of it and dont always give in to peir presure.

just lookin out...wasnt that long ago that i was 17

FYI im 22.

 

line locks are the best way to go. now i use my left foot , for the brake and clutch . right for the gas. my toes are on the brake , my heel on the clutch . slowly raise the heel ( clutch ) , hold brake with toes, give it some gas with the right foot . and away you go to buring your tires. hehe , yha that fun . but there is still nothing like just reving it up to 3000 grand and just drop the clutch. and hold on. getting side ways on take off is great!!!

 

If you don't mind me asking, what is a dryshaft??

Actually, by posting this thread you asked us for our opinions. Your exact words were

courtesy of Dictionary.com

ad·vice ( P ) Pronunciation Key (d-vs)
n.
Opinion about what could or should be done about a situation or problem; counsel.

Bentley was giving you advice (tell them to give you some money first to cover your costs), its up to you whether you want to heed his advice.

As for my opinion, I would get the line lock. That way if you end up taking your car to the track you can do a better job of heating your tires up, especially if they're drag radials.

 

A4's have ASR (acceleration slip regulation) and M6's come with TCS (traction control system). Both have the same purpose, only they named them differently. Some early LS1 f-bodies didnt have the option off turning off this "saftey feature" with the flip of the switch on the dash. I've heard some newer f-bodies 00-02, even with this feature deactivated still cant do a burnout becuase the car is still killing power when it feels the tires slipping!??? I dont know if they are just clueless or if it is still active.

 

In my past cars i just heel the brake and toe the gas and then shift your left foot to the brake or go thru the gears

 

You = confused I think.

ASR is what traction control is called on Camaro's, TCS is what traction control is called on the Firebirds and Trans Am.

I can go take a picture if you'd like to see my T/A which is an A4 with TCS.

Also, all cars that have traction control have the switch which allows you to turn it off. My 98 has the switch, and with a build date of early 1998 it doesn't get much earlier for LS1 F-body's than that. You show me any 4th gen F-body that definitely has TCS (or ASR), so it has the RPO code for it, but does not have the switch and I will be greatly impressed. Most likely if this car does exist, it got that way because somebody on the assembly line made a mistake once or twice or else the owner modified it that way. Yes, these cars have Torque Management which can also hinder a burnout or breaking traction during a hard shift but it is not the same thing as traction control.

 

yea i got TCS on my car. Its right above the shifter.

Line locks seem to be the way to go... oh and i tried that heel thing... my dad calls it the 3 foot method. BUt i stalled 3 times after i tried it... maybe i need more gas? i smelled clutch to which isn't a good thing i am gonna try from a 5 mph role then slam the brakes then the gas. See if that works. I think line locks void warrenty so i don't think i can do thats

 

hey man congrats on the ws6 at 17, im 18 and have a 98 Z28and i just had a new LS6 dropped in last summer. Oh it is fun to do burn outs, but it wont be when u have the clutch slipping, the cold,hard, honest truth is these cars are not meant for racing. It they were they would have better rearends, trans, pistons,etc.. dont get me wrong they are fast as hell but there is only so much a street car can take before it breaks!!! I know from experience. So be sure to take it easy on the car unless you are at the strip.
OHHHHHHH by the way DO NOT drop the clutch at 4g's at the track the stickem on the track will rip our rear ends in half. Have a good time with the LS1

 

these cars are not meant for racing...... uhh.... O_o can someone else vouch for him cuz i am finding that hard to believe..

i only see 40 of these things everytime i got to Englishtown...

 

OK. I wish I had a Z when I was 17...Ohh wait I had V6 Camaro RS at 17.

As for a burnout with a M6. I don't know how to do one and wish not to learn as I would always want to do it. About a year ago my husband did a burnout with my car at a club event. It was a controlled area. Here is the burnout of the car. make sure you listen very carefully to the level of RPM's in the video. Enjoy.

It is pretty hard to give just enough brakes to stop the fronts and let let backs spin. Antilock brakes complicate this even further. And they CAN'T be turned off. Your antilock system senses that the backs are spinning and thinks the fronts are locked and sliding. So this system will fight you continuously until you stall the car or let it roll. That's why a line lock is the only right way to do it. You CAN do it with an M6 (awesome vid Blue By You) but the wear you're putting on your brakes and clutch is not something to do very often.

As far as warranty concerns, they might be able to void your braking system's coverage. But they would have to prove that the line lock caused your rear end, transmission or engine to blow up to void the coverage there. Of course they could say that the line lock showed that you were using the car for racing and void it due to that reason. And with wheel wells full of rubber bits, you might be on your last free, whining rear end.

Keep in mind too, if your dad is the one that said that it would void your warranty, just accept that comment as his disapproval and forget the whole deal. That was a dad's easy way out (while saying 'NO. You'd better not.').
