How do you guys do your burnouts?

[lifesnotfair]

Even with my previous cars, I've always done it this way:

-Press the clutch pedal.
-Press gas pedal to somewhere, dunno, 4k, 5k, whatever rpm.
-Release clutch, and quickly, with that same foot (left), press brake pedal.

That's easy. But a friend of mine tells me that it damages the clutch quicker this way, obviously because of the impact when releasing the clutch all of the sudden. He suggests doing this:

With right foot, press brake pedal, AND accelerate. (with the foor horizontally or sortof like that, not in "heal-n-toe" possition), then, slowly release the clutch (SLOWLY!??) till it "grabs".... ya know. He said it's easier on the clutch. I only tried it once, and the car shut off. I tried it at 3k RPM. My car still has an open LSD so I guess it should've been even easier for the car to start it.

What do you guys say?

Oh, and on another note, PLEASE, someone with a 4.30 LSD ... SELL IT TO ME NOW! (Shipping to Miami).

Since im an automatic I just do brake stands. My tires are so shitty now I can just step on it and smoke em a bit.

1) pull up to box
2) push brakes down hard
3) activate line lock
4) rev to 4k
5) let the clutch go
6) wait
7) undo line lock and let it move you forward.


Line locks are like $50 from summit guys, don't cheap out .

Me too. I only spin them every so often and I usually don't use the brakes. And I hate wheelhop. I get it bad when the tires are about to stop spinning and fighting for traction, very uncomfortable.

thats how i do 'em, its wors on your tires and breaks than you clutch.

its deff not easier on your clutch that way but its easier on your driveline.. you'll actually wear you clutch out faster that way..

But I do that, heal-toe gas and break and pop the clutch.. i hate it when people lurch forward the slam on the breaks.. lol..

I do those burnouts dirty...
I sell them herbs from the grociery store that look like pot,
and if they give me any trouble afterwards I slap 'em up.

The easiest way to do a burnout is to pull up behind another car and touch bumpers then mash the gas petal.

How I do a burnout, you ask? Put it in DRIVE, push on the gas pedal and at about 1850rpms, the tires magically spin!!

One thing that irritates me...*OFF TOPIC*
Don't Auto Supra's have a stock 2500 stall? If so, why is it that I can't reach it. I don't have "that" much more power than stock...
