WHEEL SPIN - 5/1/2008 7:17:37 PM    73shark Posts: 2313 Joined: 4/17/2006 Status: offline During last week's NUMB3RS TV show, the FBI's black GMT-900 'burb took off from a dead stop and actually spun the wheels.  So how did they do this? _____________________________ GM perf. exh, GM CAI, Superchips, Lund step tubes, billet grill, LED tails, Lloyd mats, rear console, GM flaps, silver calipers, black bow ties, tint Post #: 1

Stunt drivers do the same for effect. _____________________________ Gman Still "GETTIN-ER-DONE" in a Chevy Truck (in reply to 73shark) Post #: 2

I think I heard somewhere that if you pour bleach on them and spin them you can get a good smoking out of them. I saw this really cool trick in a cartoon one time and I’m pretty sure I could duplicate it…. (in reply to 73shark) Post #: 4

Transmission fluid is a really popular method of getting smoke and a quick spin. _____________________________ In Obama''s new Nation, you pledge with your hand over your crotch instead of your chest.
