A Bit Juvenile: Peeling out in the auto?
I know, I know. Wanting to peel out is a bit juvenile. But no matter what I do, the only way I'm able to make the tires chirp (barely) is to use the hold brake and gas method with VDC off... And I'm pretty sure that has the potential to damage the tranny, brakes, et cetera.
Is there some secret method to getting this car to chirp or squeal? I would have gotten the manual for this sort of thing, but I needed the auto's practicality because this car is a daily driver.
And if it's just not possible without wet ground, VDC off and the brakes held... What upgrade can I get to make this car do it? Weight reduction, something to make the throttle more responsive? I have a serious itch and just need to get it scratched.

The 370Z can peel out in the auto. That was the car I was originally gonna go with, but then I realized I didn't fit in one. Sad day.

It is tricky to do but definately possible:
Even with VDC off the ECU still picks up the fact that you are pressing the gas and brake at the same time and cuts power from the engine because it's a safety precaution. You have to time it just right, tap the brake and give it the right amount of gas, then let go of the break and you will break the tires lose for a while. I've done with with my modded & tuned G37 coupe with 10.5" rear wheels for about 2-3 car length and let off (I have a 5AT BTW)... and with a stock loaner G35 sedan one time (while my car was having warrenty work done) for about 5 car lengths and it wanted to keep going. There's a tricky science to it, but it is definately doable.
P.S. I know its a bit childish & most people on this forum do not approve of this kind of driving, but sometimes you just get the itch to light up the tires and burn some rubber.

Would upgrading the cats, intakes, and exhaust help? Would a throttle controller help?
