Re: Burnout tips? (C3Vettesrock)
should i drop it to 1st or leave it in drive, should i punch it straight and hold it all the way down, when should i let off the brakes, how long to hold it until i risk really messing something up etc.
also someone mentioned rubbing ammonia on my tires prior to burning out to soften the rubber?

Re: Burnout tips? (C3Vettesrock)
I don't know about the amonia. umm...I'd just hold the brakes enough to spin the rear tires. If it doesn't bog the motor down, i'd go full throttle and just let it fly. You can let off the brakes when-ever. I just wouldn't press on the brakes harder once there spinning, that much heat my cause problems on the rear tires. I'd just keep it into 1st.

I just stop, press brake and start the gas down slowly, as soon as the tires break which is about 2000 rpms, I release the brake and punch it. Boil-ola. :cool:

Doing burnouts without a linelock is asking for trouble, probably transmission trouble. They only cost around $60-$100. Much cheaper than a transmission.
