Thanks for reading this.
During moderate to hard acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gear the back end gets
squirrelly. Windows are up so I can not hear any tires squealing. When I let
off the pedal the car tracks straight . Its a stock 2005 Z51 with 30 psi in
the stock tires.
Any thoughts guys?

No, except the Supercar tires don`t squeal like some have in the past and you
are moving quicker than you think. Never found it very hard to keep it under
control during a burnout or just hard acceleration. Look at your tread depth and
you will see that they are slipping more than you realize.

I spoke to a few folks and you seem to have nailed it. The cold weather snap
may have something to do with the tires not grabbing the way they did in
July.
Anyway, all is good.
Thanks

Title: Project Fatality... continued

Author: gwerks
Well where did we get to then… Last time we updated this project we were wheeling the Audi out of Chris at Kustom Kolors booth after achieving the matt finish we were looking for! This was the Friday before the Players show where the car was to be debuted. Then it all kind of went wrong for a while!
I had this crazy idea that 20’s would work on the car after selling a set of 19″s the same style that week.. How wrong could i of been. Whilst an awesome wheel we just couldn’t get the car down low enough on these wheels once the tyres were mounted ( A story in itself but lets save that one!)
The wheels (20″ Rs4’s with Yoko S-drive’s.)
When test fitted before the tyres we were feeling very smug with ourselves and though we had it nailed oh well you cant win them all, It did look nice though at this stage.
But it wasn’t to be so with a few hours before leaving for the Players show in Essex it was stressful times (For which i apoligise for my grumpyness to everyone). Chris had an Idea…. What about them wheels of Ollies S4… Humm they couldn’t work could they…? At this stage i was stressed and couldn’t even be botherd anymore but after a call to Ollie we pulled one off to give it a try and damm i think we could be out of the shit! Game on for tomorrow we will go to the ball! (I Have to say a HUGE thankyou to Ollie for helping us out!). Getting to the show was stress free with a carfull we arrived at the show to be greated with this! More on: http://gwerks.wordpress.com/2009/09/26/project-fatality-continued/
