If I get the car fast enough to have the clutch comletely released and punch it it won't spin. I have to punch it doing like 2k or higher for it will spin, but then it'll spin 'til the top of 2nd. Anything below 2000 and it'll dead hook.

Is possible that your toes are simply to soft and hook up instead of spinning. I thought that was what we're all trying to accomplish.

If you want some spinning tires, just put some doughnuts on. Problem solved!!!
 
You know it's guys like you that ruin forums for people. I will give you the ten year old post. I missed it. I was trying to help. I'm 59 years old and new to this **** but I do know my Mustangs. Have a great day.
Please don't take take the sentiments the wrong way - his was a common response for this scenario. Old thread bumps happen occasionally (and often it's from a spammer).

If you're new to posting on forums, it's quite understandable that an old thread might be bumped. No worries.

Welcome to the forums - sincerely.
