Burnouts....

okay..i know i may sound really dumb right now, but i have tried mutilable of times for a good burnout and didnt really get much of one at all. Not that it really matters, but how could i get my manual 2000 camaro to do a better one, or one at all...

Re: Burnouts....

if you got a sixer, dont expect much. peg-leg burnouts are all your gonna get, which are cool, just not as cool. if you got a z or ss than you shouldnt have a problem. just pop the clutch at a higher rpm...

Re: Burnouts....

kick that piece up to like 4-5k. the 3.8 puts out maximum torque at 4K so thats a good point to launch if you are looking for maximum smokage...
