Re: Burnouts

If you want a burnout machine

grab an LJ Torana with the 5.0 and get 9"diff with minispool...

goodbye rubber!!

Re: Burnouts

e-braking it will not fuck up your tranny, or your engine.
I would just push the clutch in..... oh, wait, I forgot we weren't talking about real cars.... nevermind.

For the life of me I don't understand wanting to do burn outs unless your having problems hooking up and need to get your tires hot and sticky. I love it when someone smokes there tires when I'm racing, cause they lose traction and I win. Watch the AA/F dragsters, do they smoke there tires? I don't think so, the one that does usually is the loser.

What about a late 90s automatic BMW? Could I just punch the gas to get the wheels spinning or should I have the brake in and hit the gas?

Re: Burnouts

if you just hit the gas you would probably just chirp the tires, if you want to burn some rubber you'll have to hold the brake as well, be careful though, I bet the BMW has some pretty beefy rear brakes that will get really hot during a brake stand burnout.

Re: Burnouts

I have a 2006 GMC Envoy SLT that has rear wheel drive with auto trans. does anyone know how i could get it to burnout?
Would i just have to put it in drive and hold the brake and floor it to get a burn out, or do i need to do something else?

Re: Burnouts

Wow this thread is chock full of bad info and morons. If you can't burn the tires by standing on the throttle you don't need to be trying to. All you are going to do is screw crap up. And remember smoking the tires while your racing means you are wasting valuable time hence "If your spinnin you ain't winnin". Burnouts are for slicks on drag cars and pussies whoi think their fast which one are you? Oh and by the way, automatics trump sticks any day of the week you break too much stuff with a stick that is if you've got a car with any kind of power.

Re: Burnouts

Tauruses are pretty difficult to do burnouts in because the rear brakes are so weak. Basically you want to do what you were doing but with the e-brake engaged. But I'm telling you, it won't work well because of the weak brakes.

Re: Burnouts

any burnout stresses your transmission to some extent since the transmission and engine are getting hot with no airflow to cool them down, but doing it the way I described won't put a LOT of stress on it.
