Yeah, he'll do a burnout! Because there will be gear oil and transmission fluid all over the road and under his tires

What about a C6 A6 with Paddles? Is it the same way as an A4 or a different method in standard mode? Thanks

Just go buy your new set of tires and skip the fireworks.C5's are hard to recover if you get them sideways while doing a serious burnout.Not worth the risk to find that out the hard way.If you have to ask about doing one,you will eat it if you get sideways.

MAKE SURE - You do this somewhere it is safe and away from people and children who might get hurt. Be careful and keep as far as you can from light poles, walls, curbs etc. just incase it gets away from you.

Thanks,Matt
Exactly, look for a wide open space to practice, because just slamming into a curb is gonna hurt like hell, your Corvette, and your pride... For a while I had a "line-lock" on my A4.

Man, seems like I've been to this thread once before...Must be a glitch on the Forum....
