smoke?

[raysoh8]

im wondering, like someone said at the 0ther thread- "burnouts" "step on the clutch" = clutch disengaged= flywheel spins, wheels dont. and he said something about smoke coming out, then engaging the clutch to spin the wheels. if the clutch is dieengaged, why is there still smoke coming from the wheels? the wheels arnt spinning, (i think) how is smoke produced?

hello?

you make no sense.
burnout is simply spinning your tires without forward movement.
smoke comes when the friction heats up the tires and the rubber decomposes.

Basically the guy told you, you could rev it in neutral and you would get smoke? Well yeah when the drive shaft snaps and the engine blows there probably will be smoke. Well unless it's fwd, then the engine and transaxle blow and thats that.

ummm, wow.

This thread is pointless.

^The clutch is slipping in this situation, which means that the clutch is not delivering the power to the driveshaft. So the wheels wont turn.

smoke coming out, then engaging the clutch to spin the wheels. if the clutch is dieengaged, why is there still smoke coming from the wheels? the wheels arnt spinning, (i think) how is smoke produced?

Ok so i think what you are saying is, when the clutch is in(no power to the wheels) why are the tires still smoking? It could be residual smoke caught in the wheel well, or it may be that the rubber is still burning on the tires.

This thread confuses me.
