i was getting rid of my old tires yesterday doing some nice burnouts. i poped the clutch and held 1st gear easing off the brake and going forward a little. i had the tires spinning for about 20 sec. then i turned around and did another one after waiting for the orad to clkear (about 3 min) i did another 30 sec burnout and when i let off and shifted into 2nd the car started bucking badly when i gave it gas. my buddy said it was the clutch getting hot. anyways as soon as i came to a stop and put it back in 1st it was fine. anyone else have this happen to them?

I once did a long burnout into some donuts then cruised about 100 feet and when I came to a stop it died. I blame it on computer controlled car sensing something... and then compensating and it causes it to run "bad" for a few seconds. I really dont know what exactly is going on.

If I do a big burnout leaving my house and the motor isnt completely warm yet, it will buck like that. More than likely in my case its just the computer going nuts from tons of air going by the O2s that arent up to their operating temp yet..

Can't say I've ever had a problem like that.
