I]With a manny tranny, I can burn rubber off the line if I'm *really* aggressive with the clutch and rpms. I did it once during a stoplight race with an old early 90's Ford Powerjoke.[/I]

Hell, I used to lay rubber with my older sisters manual '81 Chevy Chevett, back in the days of my early (teenage) driving history. The sad part of the story is that after the tires got done squeeling, the engine bogged down to damn near a screaching halt, while still in 1st gear; the recipe was: mega rpms, puny torque and horsepower, a crazy teenage driver, and great clutch utilization.
