I know this is probably a question you hear all the time and I don't feel bad asking but how do you do a burnout. I have 3.73 gears in my mustang and have just never done a burnout in my car. with the mickey thompson 275's going on my car I thought it would be important. it is a 5 speed

right heal on brake, right toe on gas dump clutch and push in on the brake until it stops and sit and spin.

or left foot on gas left on clutch red line it dump clutch and imediatly place left foot on brake

Using your right foot, press in the brake pedel.....allow the edge of your foot or toe of the same foot to operate the gas pedel, leaving your left foot on the clutch. Put it in 2nd gear, rev the engine (with your toe) to about 2k and then let out the clutch while keeping firm pressure on the brake. It takes a little practice but it's easier than it sounds.

You wanna use 2nd because it'll spin the wheels faster at a lower RPM so you don't have to beat the engine so bad to do a decent burnout. You're probably going to get a zillion opinions on this one, but that's how i've always done it and i've never broke anything.

When done properly, here's the results:

You basically have to adjust the pressure of your right foot between the brake and the gas to be able to feather it enough to allow the car to move while still spinning the tires, otherwise like if you're at the track, you want enough pressure on the brakes to keep the car from moving, while leaning your toe over enough to keep the RPMs where you want them while doing the burnout.

I just want to make sure I do it right before I do it because of my clutch. I have a 320 dollar new centerforce dual friction clutch in my car and do not want to mess it up. lol. that is why I am checking

Just make sure you have at least 500 miles of break in on the new clutch and you should be fine.

I wonder why nosjunkie even replies to ads like this. I know I don't know how to do a burnout yet but I changed the clutch, changed the rear seal, fuel pump. so I do know how to work on these cars and it's kind of like a slap in the face when someone is trying to learn something and they have people like nosjunkie has to add in about pills11.com? keep that for the smartass forum. I mean I am an easy going guy just wondering why you feel the need to waste your time replying when you were no help to me at all

they way i do it, put right heel on brake and press hard, the front of my right foot controls the gas. left foot gets the clutch. i pop it in 2nd rev it like 4k and dump it, it will turn them over and be sure to jeep the foot on the break and i have big feet. i can keep the brake pressed and still feather the throttle with the front of my right foot.

He's mentally challenged...give him a break


Give it a try like i said above and you'll pick it up. Sit in the car with it in neutral and get a feel for holding the brake in while tilting your toe over to hit the gas and practice reving up that way. Once you feel comfortable doing that then all that's left is putting it in gear and dropping the clutch.

i remember back when i couldnt do a burnout with a 5 speed in my car, i'd try to dump it and i was too slow and couldnt get the car to stop and it looked stilly. then i started keeping the brake down. and its 100x better.

i tried to dump it in 3rd and it bogged and died. i tried to shift but you have to do it fast and keep the rpms up so you can keep them spinning after you shift.

once i get my supercharger in the next month or so i hope i can start roasting them in 3rd or 4th

i love the vids of cobras doing wicked 4th gear burnouts and SMOKING the tires. and i mean SMMOOOKIIINNNG!

There are some 9 second cars lurking on these boards...i'd watch who you call out if you really plan on backing that statement up

Cincinnati....and we have plenty of 7.80 and low 8 second cars here as well


The thing is, 1) you're new and nobody knows your personality and right now, you're coming off like an ass, 2) nobody cares to hear about these super fast cars unless you can show proof that you have them in which case people will take a genuine interest, and 3) what started out as poking fun seems like you're beginning to take too seriously so i'm gonna lay off this thread and let your blood pressure settle

Calm down Beavis!! And shouldn't there be a period in there somewhere? Your old English teachers would be very sad if they saw that.

NOSJUNKY. Settle the f down. All that guy is asking is how to do a burn out. Now if you plan on helping him out with his problems, by all means do it! But if you want to "call out" people to race you.... then make a thread about that. Quit going off topic about useless crap. "oh my balls are bigger then yours" kinda thing.
