First off, the people who actually benefit from doing a burnout are not running radial tires. A whole heckuva lot of people think that they will get more traction if they "heat up" their street tires. Not correct at all. And especially the ones who drive through the water. Unless you are running drag slicks, DO NOT GO THROUGH THE WATER OR DO A BURNOUT. Not only is it not beneficial, it's wasteful, and you'll look like a schmuck for those who are "in the know."

But for doing a burnout? Those guys have a little contraption called a line-lock. What it does is lock your front brakes via a little servo, and then you step on the gas. Simple as that. The welfare way of doing it is the whole "hit the brakes, hit the gas" technique, but that'll kill your brake pads/drums, etc. But with the line-lock, when you're done smoking the rear tires, flip the switch and, voila! You're brakes are back to normal.

Save the burnouts for the Camaros. Enjoy the S in the mountains.

 

im just enlighting them on the how-to. i care not how, when, and what for , and why they wanna know. maybe they are running slicks you dont know. when you are falling off mountains, they will be heating up the slicks on their way to a 15 sec pass.

 

what cars have drum brakes? beside lower model GMs?

 

I'm telling ya, the ABS will get pissed off

 

What cars have drum brakes? Pretty much every car that has the ability to do a burnout correctly and beneficially. Rear wheel drive does not a drag-strip car make.

Sounds like RT has tried this before and needed to pull the ABS fuse.

 

Guys!
After you burn out your radials, f**k up the ABS and blow plugs out of the engine, you're bound to end up at a dealership that will add dents and dings. You have to ask yourself, is it worth it?

 

How do you burn out? Too much sex, drugs and rock and roll!

 

BBBBBBBBWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH It's better to burn out than to fade away!!

Not!!!
