Burnouts???
I have a 2001 Z06, I have done some burnouts but they are not that great. I dont press the brake because ive heard that you can do it with out pressing it and do it well.
I rv to 4500 and let go of the clutch fast. and then i feather it 4000-5000 rpm. But it always goes forward and doesnt stay and burnout. I catches traction a little. Wut am i doing wrong??
Can i do a burnout 2nd gear?? Should i rev higher??

For me its more like $2 a whole burnout. I got my back tires both for 50 bucks. i buy used from a dealer that is a friend. A while back haters slashed 2 new tires. I now only get used.

Classic.Not to hijack the thread though...a slow roll through the water (we wouldn't do this on public streets, right), 2nd gear burn. A line lock is even better if you have it!

Where are doing this? On a normal surface it shouldn't be too hard. On a drag strip it might be harder. I could easily burn up the tires on my Z and had to be careful not to when I was autocrossing. You don't need massive amounts of RPMs. All I had to do was be revving over 2200 rpm and let the clutch out. As the car started to move if I nailed the throttle the rear tires would boil. That was with 315/17 Kumho 710 R compound tires on the rear.
To keep from spinning too much I would slip the clutch and modulate the throttle until the tires hooked. Depending on the surface sometimes I had to drop the revs to 2000 to keep from spinning too much.
