Burnouts?

I have a 2016 C7 Z06 w/ manual transmission. When trying to impress friends with a ridiculous burnout the car moves left/right, etc... forcing an early shutdown. What are the best settings to make extended smoke?

Are your wheels turned? On flat surface? Should stay straight if done correctly. Dont get Mustang, you will blow that tranny in to pieces.
