I understand there is a technique where you hold down the brake, this will lock the front wheels and let the back wheels spin against the smaller rear brake pads. Can someone please explain how to do this. Do I hold the break pedal to the floor? Should I leave the shifter in first gear? Thanks for the help

uh oh, John Kerry isn't going to like this, we should have studied harder... we're lucky we aren't in Baghdad or Kabul. But that's another thread.

If he has a 1998-2000 with Active Handling, you cannot power-brake the car in Competitive Driving. It just downpowers the engine when you try. Therefore, he should turn Active Handling and Traction Control off.
If he has a 2001-2004 then he can put it in Competitive Driving as they will power-brake in Competitive Driving.

WOW! 
More people have viewed this post than any of my other post, even the one where I gave away a Predator tuner. Let’s see if I can break 2000.
I’m thinking about gitting the Tornado how much HP do your think I can pick up.
I’m also thinking about putting a spoiler on my coupe what do you guys think.
I also just got this electric supercharge off of eBay. What do you think 400 RWH.
And for you **** retentive grammar freaks this is for you .
