I have a 95 A4 with 3.45s and some minor mods I have discovered the best way to lay a little rubber is to quickly push the throttle pedal down about 1 inch any more than that and I just sit, spin and finally fishtail.

Well, modulate the brakes with your other foot, that's how to do artsy burnouts.

OK, here we go...... At the race track before you get ready to make your run, NEVER on a public hwy. Spinning wheels gets you a ticket.
Turn off the ASR, hold your left foot on the brake, press on the gas pedal, modulate the brake pedal a little until you hear/smell the back tires burning, let off of the brake pedal and put the gas pedal on the floor. Hold the gas pedal on the floor as long as you want to burn off your tires or until the car is moving too fast.

"I was rapping to the fuzz, can you dig it"? Smokey aint down on laying rubber. All you need to do is get them Rrr's up. It will lay down a patch, can you dig it?

Will it help if I try it while vehicle is facing uphill? Also, will it help if I cut the wheel hard to one side of the other? Lastly, what do they pour on the ground at the racetrack to smoke the tires just before a race?
