just wondering if anyone could post some info about them / experiences with em... every1 says ther pretty bad for the street , but i dont see why u cant release the button earlier in the rpm range so the car doesnt lose as much traction?? are there any negatives to having a transbrake comapred to a stally?? there should be no problem driving around with a transbrake that goes up to 5-6k rpm on the street, whereas if u have a 3.5 / 4 grand stally, the auto can appear to be slipping or loose ?? thx guys

You are better off to have a larger stall as well as the brake!

put simply... transbrakes are absolutely useless on the street !! and i think most would agree with me here... there is a good chance that u wont even be able to stall a car up hard in the revs withought launching with massive wheelspin off the brake.. let alone sitting on a brake and letting it all go at the release of a button.. its purpose is for drag race launching. it should be used on the track for best outcome. using it on the street i guess would just be for mucking around off lights and ripping big ass demos there is a nice video of WARNG gettin around... sits on the brake for a few seconds and goes hectic and does a nice fly by aswell... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

"transbrakes are absolutely useless on the street !!" what if you were to just engage the transbrake and stall it up to 2.5/3 grand (too low to get chronic wheelspin) ... i dont see how it can act just as efficient as a good stall on teh street?? thx for post Morgo, i read that before!

there are too many unknowns on the street, the strip is a controlled environment, keep the brake engaged for too long and you'll fry your auto - keep it for the track!

I was playing with my stally down a road with a mate who's into racing, and as soon as we got boost off the line, even 2-3psi, she'd light em up and do sideways. coz as you leave the line, it puts out more power. A transbrake would be useless on the street, But seriously who's gonna stall it up and have a crack at beating someone in street trim? LOL.

transbrake on street with absolutely no traction..... BRILLIANT!
