I like the fact of the burnout yet not trying to sling a whole bunch of rubber all over the the back of the car.

I was expecting a bit more smoke. A couple weeks ago I was leaving a buddy's shop and there was a puddle in the driveway, so I rolled through it and then proceeded to do a little 2nd gear burnout 'to clean off the tires'. I was amazed at the volume of smoke I put in the air with a 3-4 second burnout. The guy in the truck behind me had to wait for the smoke to clear before driving through it.

Next time turn the traction control off.
Get a line lock.

Line locks are for sissies....I've been drag racing for years without a line lock on my car both stick shift and automatic...no issues doing burnouts.

Only reason I just installed one is because I went to manual brakes and I had to bend lines...probably won't even use it.

I'm with dysan I've never had a problem getting the brakes to hold when doing burnouts.
That's one sad burnout though

Dear computer, shift my car for me as I hold the pedal down.
Warm regards, Dysan <3.


But holding the car still for a burnout is for sissies :roflmao:

With burnouts like that the Nitto's will last longer than you think.

Lol I'm supercharged traction control is always off. These tires were BALD and I was in the middle of no where and didn't want to risk bursting a tire, that's all. Have them a small roast and called it a day. Got 295/35/18 NITTO INVO's on now! Amazing tires love hitting S bends at high speed

Driving aids and assists are for the incompetent or for those who can't heel & toe drive

Ill give it a better roast next time haha. Sorry for failing you all. Son: I am disappoint.
