The 2.5L could roast them in 1st and a little into 2nd if I really tried.
The 3L flat out boils them if you breathe on the pedal too hard.
Even in 2nd gear the tires normally break free a bit as you pull past 5000rpm. If you actually try (say going from cruise to WOT) you can roast them at will in 2nd too.
Heck if I really try I can spin them all the way through 3rd but that's not getting me anywhere though. Well except needing new tires. It's "not" spinning them that I want.
What are you doing to "roast" your tires in 3rd gear exactly? Im close to 200FWHP and running mid-lower 14's and going into 2nd I get some chirping(more than I did with the 2.5L) but not too much, but definitely no spinning in 3rd.. Just curious as to what you are doing right/wrong to get them to spin so much in 3rd?
