Yes, it won't just do it under normal power. You actually have to try and do a wheel spin not that I do it often, mind.

Give it some spinage up the line. Then hold at 3.5k and dump it! You can floor it with little wheel spin.

This comment assumes you have had the car rr'd...

Hold the clutch at the biting point, at peak torque, with the hand brake on but with the button pressed in (acts as a fly-off hand brake). Release the hand brake, gradually increase revs so as not to bog down and change at peak power. Will find the car rarely leaves 3rd, sometimes hits 4th gear, terminal at around 90mph ish, assuming standard gearbox. Do not hit limiter!

The above is only in my opinion and from my experience.

For one get any crap off the tyres, and put a ibt of heat into them. I find it really funny watching people drive through the water an then sit there on the line wheel spining in their 50bhp cars.
