Dodge Ram SRT10: If any vehicle is more conducive to burnouts, we don’t know about it. Dodge stuffed in the 500-hp, 8.3-liter Viper V-10 backed by a six-speed manual to create the fastest production truck in the world (147 mph). Hooliganism is guaranteed, as is creating a Superfund site every time you dump the clutch.

Cadillac XLR-V: Under all those aggressive, creased body lines is a Corvette chassis married to a supercharged and intercooled 4.4-liter Northstar V-8 producing 443 horsepower to motivate the quickest Cadillac ever. That huge number connects with not-particularly-wide 255mm rear tires, making for rubber hazed more readily than a fat boy in boot camp. We suggest you torch the tires with the hardtop down.

Chevrolet Corvette: With the wimpiest example making 400 horsepower, any Corvette has little trouble incinerating the inevitable Goodyears strapped to the back. Coupe, convertible, automatic, standard, Z06, base model, whatever — any Vette smokes meats better than a Texas BBQ.

Pontiac GTO: Rental-car looks only encourage you to lay waste to the GTO’s rear tires as if Avis would be replacing them. The 400-hp Corvette-sourced LS2 turns tarmac into a cheese grater once you disable the traction control. Despite a published base price of $32K, a lukewarm reception by buyers means you can get a GTO for significantly less.

Jaguar S-type R: Coventry was considerate enough of vulgar American sensibilities to supply a traction/stability-control kill switch in its elegant S-type R. With windows up to protect the bird’s-eye maple and Connolly leather, full access to 400 supercharged ponies will liquefy costly rubber in a spectacular and ungentlemanly fashion.


Dodge Charger R/T: Yes, it has a Hemi, and the Charger, in either R/T or SRT8 form, is about as good a four-door smoke show as money can buy. Its $30K starting price includes the benefits of Mercedes engineering and 340 horsepower.

Ford Mustang GT: Ford offers the cheapest 300-hp car money can buy with its $25K Mustang GT. Modular V-8 power, a solid rear axle, and easily defeated electronic gimmickry make for a package that demands you punish those naughty hides.

Cadillac DTS: The only front-wheel-drive vehicle on this list is powered by a 291-hp Northstar V-8. This is sufficient to leave two smoldering piles of redistributed silica and carbon just aft of the DTS’s Grandpa-hauling rollers. One of our editors got pulled over doing just that, and the cop couldn’t help laughing. No ticket!

Infiniti G35: The G35 is the lone Japanese offering in this bunch, but it does a good job of representing the land of specific output. Buy the manual transmission, rear-drive version, switch off the traction control, and learn to use both feet for warranty-threatening, intersection-fogging fun.

Pontiac Solstice: GXP One of the cheapest paths here to destroying a perfectly good set of gummies is the turbocharged 260 horsepower found in the Pontiac Solstice GXP for about $25K. Burnouts might, in fact, be a required part of the ownership experience, necessary each time a neighbor asks if you borrowed your hairdresser’s car.

 

Can't argue with the professionals.....check vid. Before major mods...

Done a burnout in one of the 05 loaners. Gotta love RWD power!

 

I have a stock 04 AT sedan,aero,prem.I have no problems doing burnouts with mine.Probably not as thrilling as the 6 MT.New Bridgestone Turanza tires,but there ageing fast from there smoking habit...

 

350 hp n/a......chuckled at that one.

 

the closest thing to a burnout was a fishtail happy launch i did, unexpectantly, to a 300c owner who thought he was the shiznit despite having his **** handed to him by me.... if i tried i could have laid a few lines of rubber on the tarmac but love my g too much...

 

Was the 300C owner awake?? I have the higher hp version of that car (Charger SRT8), but even so, the 5.7 motored cars are clearly faster than the G. Despite their higher weight, they have a big hp advantage that overcomes...

 

Hmm

298 vs 340 but ... 3500 lbs with a close ratio 6spd vs 4100lbs with a sloppy benz auto. Granted with a little torque bias for the C. But still, my money is on the G.

 

Sloppy Benz auto? It's obvious you've never driven one. I'm not positive, but if it's the same tranny used in my SRT8, it's an intelligent tranny that anticipates your next move. For example, if you brake going into a turn, it downshifts anticipating needing power to exit the turn (before adding throttle). Of course, you can shift the tranny manually, but most find the auto mode can't be beat.

I've only taken my car to the track once, but I met with a guy running an R/T, and he was turning 13.5x in the 1/4. I think all he had was a CAI and maybe exhaust. I ran 13.1x with CAI and exhaust.

I don't recall seeing many G's close to stock running mid 13's, so I wouldn't take that bet with the R/T if I were you.

 

He was wide awake after i was neck to neck with him before the previous intersection... during that time i forgot to turn off vdc... vdc lit up and was still able to match him.... (also before that he did a teaser flyby and cut me off during a right turn).... it may have been the 22 inch DUBS he was sporting that probably held him back... anyway, this was an isolated occurance so i can't say i'll be him again if i ever run into him ever... i had one passenger but could not tell how many he had... he had limo tint all around....

 

Yea, I've seen many of the LX cars with huge wheels. Especially the 300's. Those monster wheels can't be good for performance.......

 

it was probably jsut a 300c, not an SRT-8.

 

Last i check a stock 300c runs the 1/4 in the 14.4 area. Not talking about the srt, thats a whole different animal. The base hemi isn't tuned to the same parameters and is more of a luxo cruiser than a pavement burner like the srt.

 

You're right about that. The entire suspension is different. But I watched this guy run 13.5 and I compared timeslips with him, so I didn't just take his word for it. The only high hp adders out for these cars are forced induction and nitrous, and he didn't have either. I didn't look at his tires, so maybe he was using DR's, but I didn't notice them at the time.
