Wondering if anyone ever did a miny burnout with their Compass

Yes I have, but it has been here on the Muddy Frontiers of my driveway and dirt/mud road to the blacktop highway. I haven't tried to chirp them on pavement yet. Should I?

I have on gravel but not on pavement. It's hard on the esp on the 4 wheel drive when it locks up. I have done donuts and a little drifting to see where my slip points are.

I managed to do it on dry pavement once. I even have the CVT. I did it from a stop and putit into first using the slap stick and managed to get a decent squeel out of the front tires before shooting off. And yeah, the electronic stability stuff was all off. I'd just gotten back onto the pavement.

I have gone into a big paddock and done a couple of sharp turns and kicked out the back but i just want to know wat it takes to spin the tires on pavement

Well I'd say realisticly, the 5 speed, a steep grade, and no traction control.

I roast my tires all the time. I have a five speed. Just turn the esp off and get on it and they spin with no problems.

mine seams to always wanna spin before i take off on dry pavment... it frustrats me, yet with the 2.4 cvt it feels as tho theres not much power once the spin is over (with esp off)

 

[bseblfrk09]

That's probably because the CVT is going from a very low ratio when you are spinning to a higher ratio than needed to keep from spinning. When you are out of your spin you are stuck in a ratio that is to high for the car to have enough power to move until the CVT moves back to a lower ratio. That is why I stick with a good old 5 speed. you know what gear you are in at all times and what kind of throttle and power is needed to move at what speed. In plus they are way more enjoyable and give you way more acceleration than any automatic ever will.

And I believe that that was the smartest thing Ive heard in about a month.
