Burnout
Hey guys I never had a car with so much power but I have been driving stick for 15 years. I have a Z51 C7 and I'd like to make a video of smoking the tires a little bit. Can I get some advice on the best way to do it. I don't really wanna burn the clutch and I'll be in a wide open area with concrete or asphalt. I got both options. A empty parking lot my friend owns.

Push and hold the button for 10 seconds or whatever it takes to disable stability control and traction control. Both of the icons will show up on the dash. Rev it up to 5kish, drop the clutch. If you do it right, that should break the tires loose. Hold the brake with your left foot and use the throttle to create your desired amount of smoke with the right foot. I mean... that's what people tell me

track mode = stiffer suspension = more likely to wheel hop
Keep it in softest suspension mode, turn off TCS, and it's a no brainer. Dump clutch in 1st and lightly apply brake.

Pretty much if TC is off and you're in first, just smash the go fast pedal at any point even after you start rolling and you will smoke them no problem.

Dude that what mine looked like. Except the end of the video. Also after about 40 yards it started to fishtail. That made my butt hole pucker a little.
