donuts

alright i have an automatic and i cant seem to get a good donut. basically what i have been doin is gettin the tires to spin and goin into a tight turn. i can get one sorta 3/4 of a spin but it just stops. suggestions? o and dont tell me to search haha cuz most of those threads are about maunals. thanks

1. turn VDC
2. flip it into MM mode
3. have a clear area... turn the wheel ... punch it... once you start spinning... feather the gas... watch your RPMs !!!

yea i turned the VDC off before, but i didnt turn it to MM mode(im guessin thats like the fake maunal mode haha?). so basically watch the RPMs so i dont redline and just hold the wheel tight and ill keep spinning?? also is it better to start wit the wheel turned or accelerate into a turn?

if you have the room you brake torque into a burnout... then start turning the wheel... you can do it in auto mode but its not as fun cause your tranny keeps shifting causing your RPMs to lower

Yup... once you start to feel the car grab traction you stomp the gas again and the car will break loose... its not rocket science... just go out and try it...this is my frist rear wheel drive car and i had no problem doing donuts on the first try just find a wide open area... one time i did it in a pretty small area... and i was damn suprised on how well i controled it

Never understood the point of doing donuts... What good does it do besides bald your tires. I guess it could be fun, but dayam.

1. It is very practical for doing U-turns on narrow streets, where normally you would have to go back and forth 3 times
2. Also very useful when you need a black circle on a piece of asphalt and don't have any black paint with you
3. Recommended by ADA (Amercian Doctors Association) as stress relief in anger management therapies

Generally - the healthiest way of smoking
