Can't you burn out without holding the brake?

Good basic story and the plot moves along nicely. When's the sequel?

i think you won my burnout of the day award, can you pm with specific instructions on how to do that with the 6spd, i think the person holding the camera might have gotten hit with a piece of tire at one point you can hear her say "OW" or something, lol

TOTALLY AWSOME

That looks like a 2nd gear burnout, by how little the car moves. I haven't tried those yet.

Anyhow, here's for a 1st gear burnout...




Put in in 1st gear, hold the clutch to the floor, rev to redline. Release clutch quickly with left foot and get on the brake immediately. Hold the brake enough to keep the car from moving too much. You can also modulate the brake and steering to move the car around for a more artsy burnout.

It also works better if you side-step the clutch. While the clutch is on the floor, slide your foot sideways off the pedal so it springs up instantly, then get on the brake. This will break the tires loose with less forward movement.

And of course, practice makes perfect.

hey, thanks for the tip, my wife loved viewing it there. i was going to do the burnout longer but so much smoke moved to the front of the car that i could not see a thing... and those were rocks/gravel coming up and pelting her.
