Hey guys...I was just wondering how some of you guys perform those perfect, 1 minute long burnouts, where the car does not move and the rear tires just spin??? I am not to sure on how to do those, so do you mind sharing some light?? Thanks!!!

Turn off the traction control and powerbrake it to get it going.

If you have a manual you need to keep ur left foot on the brake AND on the gas. Use your heel to on the brake and toe on the gas, slip the clutch and make sure you press the brakes hard while giving it gas. It takes some coordination but once u get t u can sit there all day and roast them. Just watch the rev limiter.

When you get really good, you can do it with your left foot on the brake and the gas

Exactly why do you want to burn your tires forever? Have you got an unlimited supply of money, or are you just doing it for show?

Long smokey burn outs may look cool to your buds, but it isn't going to do anything for your wallet, or traction at the drag strip.

I always stall it when I try any other method other than SaleenGT2001's suggestion. But I imagine that's not exactly great on the drivetrain...

Rev it to 3500 and just dump the clutch and PUNCH the gas...then almost instantly back off the gas and hold the RPM @ 4500-5000RPM.

Depress brake pedal and engage the roll control solenoid. Release brake pedal and either mash the gas (Automatic) or dump the clutch and mash the gas (Manual).





























What? You don't have roll control? Sorry...

I did my first burnout in my Mustang the other night. All too easy...

All I did was rev it up to around 3k, dump the clutch real quick, and jump on the brake really quick. Didnt move till I let off, and I held the burnout at around 5-5500 RPM's.

I was suprised how easy it was.


Also did my first donut and drift the next night. Had to get it all out of my system, lol. The donut was awesome, and the drift felt 100% controlable. I was amazed at how it tracked exactly where I wanted it to go.

When I do burnouts at the track, what i do is:

Rev it up to about 5000rpm, dump the clutch and throw my left foot on the brake pedal. Once I get it to start spinning, I lower the rpm down to about 3000rpm and raise it accordingly, to how hot I want the tires or how much smoke I want. I try to keep it as low as possible, I hate doing 5500rpm burnouts
