Smoking tires in a 4cyl Camry 2002+ using downshifting Neutral to drive at 6,100 rpm?
I do it by pulling the automatic gear shifter between neutral and drive until the light on the dash goes out indicating it is not in any gear then rev then move to drive. Tire ownage. Been through 2 sets. Reason for putting it in between gears is because the car has some kinda computer thing to stop you from downshifting straight from N to D.

I used to do it all the time in my Dodge Stratus SE 2003 never had a transmission problem. My 2002 camry has only 40,000 miles on it and dealership said transmission was perfect. I have had 2 sets of slick tires downshifting to L gear and shifting to D. Everyone be like danggggg. What you got under the hood? O.o

Over a long period time that will annihilate your trans of course I already know that. :p I also had a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix V6 <-- Too Fast. In my Camry I did a 8 sec tire smoke until I couldn't see my car or anything else from downshifting. LOL. When I get my Pontiac GTO 6 Speed I will smoke my tires to death.
I also want to know how to turn Traction control off in the 2002 Camry. My book showed the button to do so but my car has no button where they pointed. They also say if you go into a skid the VSC light supposed to come on or something. It has been plenty of times where I have lost control of the Camry and I saw no light or any sign of VSC.

Did you ever think that you may not have Traction control? No VSC intervention and no switch?
I bet you want to turn it off to "drift" too.

Haha...Jebus, you must have a lot of money...I'd never waste tires like that, unless they were cheap POS tires that I'd have to replace anyway. And the fact that you're getting a GTO...yet you said that a Grand Prix was too fast?
I have driven both. Gto owns. Godlike speed. And the reverse 10 miles of hour stuff I have already done it several times. Oh and I am not trying to kill it. I am going to make it 300+ horsepower soon.

all you need is a good SRI with an APC filter, yo!
I was thinkin' of that, then I found out if you order more than 1 item from summit racing, you get all kinds of stickers... and those sumbitches add 35whp a piece!
