I doubt you will find many Crossfire owners who have done this or who plan on doing it.
The Crossfire is not really a 'doughnut' type of car. Perhaps you should invest in a 80s or early 90s Camaro.

the little trick of pulling the fuses is a NO GO it doesnt do any thing ( I have tried it on all years of crossfire ) you may want to look up yaw sensers though !

I pressed the traction off button(which I do every time I start the car) and drove to the back of a Wal Mart where they have wonderful cement loading dock area and did a couple doughnuts two days after I bought the 6. This car WAS made for doughnuts..........RWD, great suspension and loads of power.

Don't be afraid to drive the hell out of the car. It seems like almost everybody that owns these cars thinks they're some stupidly rare sports car that's gonna be worth tons of money. They aren't Ferrari's. The fact is that just like every other Domestic car; made in the last 15 years, it will depreciate like crazy..........as they have already.

With the traction control off mine will do donuts until you let off the gas. Not that I would do that....

Default Re: doughnuts

why would these cars not be made for doughnuts?
they are fast and are rearwheel drive.
In comparison to a Z you turn the traction control off and whip it in circles.
They are pretty much the same in speed so whats the difference?

They must like spending $600-$700 for rear tires.
