How to do a burnout??

[Kilgore Trout]

With the mad tyte 4R70W I just powerbrake it enough to get them spinning and then just ROAST 'em through the gears

Some have forgotten a crucial element: use 2nd gear.

bingo.

put it in 2nd.

ease out of the clutch while applying 1/2 or more throttle. as soon as you start moving, let off the clutch fully and slam on the brakes, at the same time going WOT.

you must stay on the throttle and not rev up and down like you can in 1st gear burnouts, cause as soon as you let off too much in 2nd, the engine bogs and youre tires grab and you jump forward. on a 2nd gear burn, i usually stay around 4500-5k rpm's.

what? teach me, i suck at Auto burnouts, i grew up on the stick (literally...)... autoburnouts i just hold brake and hit the gas till i hit 5000 and roll away... but it usually only spins 1 tire, then i try varying with D or 1, seems to be the same to me, it kicks it out hard into second but the burnouts always over before im going fast enough for second... maybe its my lack of gears? Its not a lack of power, it runs really strong. For some reason it tends to lock the rear end only when i just floor it, no brakes... and the burnouts just as long. Dont get me wrong, spinning the tires or a tire till 5000 leaves quit the smoke show but its not what i want to be doing.

I was so good at manual burnouts too, even got my 4spd manual 2.3 to do some nasty ones. Now THAT took alot of practice and clutch control.

I always thought it easiest to do a 2nd gear burnout a bit different, most of my stang buddies as well. Launch and let fly at 5k in 1st, then quick power shift second, you wont get lots of smoke, but, I leave like 60 foot patches of rubber when I do it that way heh. It really depends if you want a good roasting, where you just sit there smokin' them, or, burn and go, like the one I mentioned. There's different kinds of burnouts I guess.

For a long time, when i'd see someone doing a burnout, I would just think to myself, "well, he's not gettin any traction at all, i'd prob smoke him". But, no way to know if he's burnin' on purpose or actually launched and just had no traction at all. (This being on the street, not track, obviously)

I find it far more impressive to see a stang/camaro/vette whichever, pull a wheel off the ground on a dope launch, rather than see a burnout. But you dont really get to see that on the street....lol who would drive around on slicks...too expensive.

rev to 6000 and dump the clutch, apply the brakes 30 or 40 feet down the street

coat tires in bleach first

Well, it works best on hot asphalt when there is some melting on the surface.

I just roll into the throttle and press lightly on the brake!? Why all this popping of the clutch nonsense?

U.M.

That's how I do it. Got the double strips this very minute from my driveway to the stop sign on my street.

I dont like using 2nd...even with my power and 3.73s it seems pretty hard to get them going even with my line lock....but man did I do a burnout LOL. Tires didnt like that either haha.

A stock GT with 3.27 gears...I couldnt image it lol. Seems pretty hard on teh clutch.

Just rev to 3500 in 1st and dump the clutch and quickly put your foot on the break. Modulate the RPM to stay @ 5000 RPM or so. Thats all you need to do and if you want, quickly grab second and re apply the breaks, but not too hard.


With the line lock at the track, I can give it a little gas and come off the clutch @ 1000-1500RPMs like I normally would and it just smoothly starts spinning....SOOO easy. I run it to 4000-4500 and then drop down to about 1500 and release the line lock and just let it hook back up nice and gently Saves the rearend.

And in case burnouts get a little boring for ya (still waiting for that to happen to me)...

Rear Wheel Drive Techniques

I always thought Tiff (the guy in the vid) was a little fruity, but definately a good driver...

 

[hotmustang331]

Now that guy can drive...I would love to have an area to do that. Im pretty good at keeping cars straight and making them do what I want

Indeed he can...

It's very easy.
1. Left foot on the clutch
2. Right heel on the brake, with right toe on the gas.
3. With right toe, rev up to about 3500-4000 RPM's.
4. Slip out the clutch, don't pop it.
5. Move left foot from clutch to brake and put right foot all the way on the gas.
6. Keep it around 4000 or so RPM's for about 6-7 seconds and then slowly ease off the gas and ride it out.
7. Enjoy the wonderful aroma of burning rubber.

This is where the thread should have ended, since it was the only right answer. That whole dumping the clutch, then diving on the brakes thing is something you see 16-year-olds doing when they first get their license. Very amateur.....you'll be a real hit with the ricers at the track if you do it like that.

my response was a jab at pughman, for his awesome burnout video

 

[Gearbanger 101]

Yeah, I bugged him a little about that too. I'm sure he know's were ****ing with him though.

 

[myponyrocks]

I'll post up a vid of my reverse burnout when myspace uploads it...

word of caution, don't do it! (no problems, but I got lucky... I didn't know any better and I was mad)
