We all know how to chirp the tires from stand still but how do you achieve it when cruising at 60 mph?
A few nights ago a Z4 roadster pulled up next to me on the highway while going 60 mph. I guess he was itching to show off his brand new Z4. He revved up for a full 2, maybe 3, seconds and chirped his tires and pulled away.
I gotta say, it was pretty impressive. How did he do it?

Get more power to the ground.
Get a more slick road.
More PSI in the tires.
Bald tires.
Stage 6 clutch.

ice

strange what some guys find impressive
Usually I manage to blow at least one run at every autocross, and once I've blown the run I generally over drive the car and slide around the rest of the course. Almost without fail, whenever I do that, there are spectators who come over and comment about how much faster I was going. Half the time, when I try to explain that sliding around like that is slower, they just look at me like I don't know what I'm talking about (so I tell them to go look at the time sheets).
It's not strange at all; Quite the contrary, it's common.

Impressive because its not every car that could do this. I was just wondering if my stock S2000 could do this and if it was just a matter of knowing how.
If I gotta modify the car, wait for a wet, icy, leafy road, get bald tires, and get stage 6 clutch then, you know what, forget it. I just thought it was worth asking.

You know chirping the tires is a sign that your not hooking up and in fact are slower than a car that does?

Hooking up means your tires are hooking the road. When you spin it is "churping". Like if someone Chirps second, or in this case third. Your not making 100 percent contact with the ground and moving forward with full force.
