I'm thinking a line lock may be the way to go really. As it is now I came to the conclusion that trying to do a burnout in the Saab is a lost cause. It just doesn't have the power any more. I tried it a bit when I was going to pick up my brother from his swimming training and I got the timing down okay, but quickly came to the conclusion that the engine is just to tired after being honestly mismanaged by a crappy service shop for years. As it is now you only really get power and acceleration when the turbo kicks in and it just doesn't do that when you go from a standstill to full throttle, but rather only in higher gears after giving some power for half a second or so. So I'll have to try it carefully in the Camaro when I get it. The Saab will remain as beater for as long as it works with not much repair.
