2003.5 at burnout
hmm, i can't seem to make my tires spin and lose traction. i brakestand in 1st and go to 2.8k-3k rpm, then let go and smash the gas pedal. Dont do crap cept slowly roll...
but weird thing is, if i put it in reverse, and floor it. i can hear my tires lose traction.
could it be my 20x10 rears? woulda thought i had enough mods on to make up for the loss in power...

and in reverse you generally get better luck because the weight transfers off the rear wheels. if you wanna do some smoking, get some old narrow tires (15inch rims will prob fit over the back brakes), over inflate them, and let'em rip.
i had accidentally overinflated the tires on my vic (which i could never get to smoke the tires), due to an defective pressure gage, once i booted it, i poured out enough smoke to have a hard time seeing...
also: a puddle of bleach, or if you can get texin (rubber solvent used in the manufacture of tires), you can do a smokeshow with any car, (when i was working at a tire plant, i once had a chunk of rubber adhered to the drive wheel of an electric tow vehicle, my boss told me to pour a puddle of texin on the floor, brace the thing and stand on the throttle, which i did and filled that part of the plant with tire smoke (: gotta love being paid to do that kinda stuff...

A friend told me that he can do a standing still burnout with my car (he does a standing still burnout with any car including his 6MT E46 M3), I told him the same thing that i am posting here. Well, I let him try it and as soon as the tires started spinning and he taped the brake for the front brakes to just hold the wheels, the power cut off instantly as i guessed. Turning VDC off does not turn the traction control off all the way. In extreme wheels spin it will interfere and stop u from getting killed. U can easily drift and do donuts and stuff but it has saved me once in the canyon, even with VDC off, from falling off. Most people will not even push the car to a point to notice that secondary traction. I have only managed to do it once from me being stupid.
Careful on those canyons!

I love this car's balance in the canyons, the cars tail depends on ur right foot with mildly modded suspension. I am very cautious in the canyons though.
