One million horsepower...
but to semi-seriously answer... it depends on your chassis, your suspension, what rpm you make said power at, transmission gearing and what speed you're at, the condition of the road, rims, tires, and a bunch of other crap. Enjoy!

Why would you want them to "break loose" any way. While your tires spin and your looking over your door to look at your tires the guy that actually has traction is gonna be at the end of the track.....lol

Dude, I am just a wannabe. I love my civic but don't actually race it or use it for what its built for. And I'm totally content with that. Its not like I can't die happy if I don't do this. I'm just curious cause I thought I would and it didn't.

All depends on the tires and surface lol. I guess when your young it is the cool factor my car can spin the tires off in 3rd. I look at it as time wasted by not getting traction. Tire spin is fun for about 30 seconds and then it is annoying because you don't go anywhere.
