peeling out?!

This may sound like a stupid question but here goes. I recently purchased a '91 Firebird 5spd with a V8. I have found that is almost impossible to peel out. Now my old car was easy, but it seems this has a safety feature or something. Someone let me know whats going on? And maybe a way around it? Just to show off!

With a 5 speed, a V6 will burn the tires. Is the clutch slipping?

I have an automatic. I can make the tires burn a little when its just idling and I mash it.

IF I rev it up to 1000 rpms or more then mash it I can get a nice rip on the road. You can jsut drop the clutch or do what I do(brake stand)
