          "burning out" is a sign that you are racing it's probably fine, but you will go through the lifespan of your tires/clutch. What are you revving the engine to? that is to say how many RPM's are you getting before you let go of the clutch and how fast are you releasing the clutch? One way people like to get acceleration without burning out as much, is to put larger tires on their cars. It sounds like you may need to not rev the engine as much to get better traction, if that is your question. Where in Chicago are you? I am just by midway airport. I love working with these little cars, and I would like to meet you and talk about festiva's, either respond here or you can "PM" me and let me know!

            I dont quite understand....so all this time you have been revving and going nowhere, as in no tire spinning but the clutch spinning?

            Where is that "priceless" video of the black camaro showing off trying to power brake and ruins his car heh

              I bought a dyna pac clutch set this week, glad to hear it works well. Sounds like Ill have to pick up some extra tires though.

                If your not burning tires....you're not using the clutch correctly

                  naw i think is cause they tighten up my gas thing on the engine to hard and right when i let go of the clutch and put a little gas it burn tires a little and goes.. fast... like it has high acceleration i think that is good but idk if its good in the streets hey u guys know where i can get my driver permit for free for very cheap in Chicago

                      The acceleration is a function of how you release the clutch and apply the accelerator. let me know where you live or a place we can meet up and I'll come take a look at it

                              Prospective new friend? Other than the lead character from the sitcom "Big Bang Theory" you're the only guy I know who makes a prospective new friend fill out a 5 page application!
