Or they say, "Ehh... It's and auto..." :D
 
LOL Hell I think I got the little 93 Geo Storm with a cable operated clutch to do some mini burnouts..... well as much as you can call them burnouts.....
 
I would never do a burnout since i'm automatic but when i floor it from a stop in the rain i can get the wheels spinning :p that's my burnout.
 
Basically all I have to do is kick it down at speeds less than 20 mph or kick it hard just before it shifts from 1st to second or from 2nd to 3rd. 2nd to 3rd isn't all that impressive though. I usually just get a loud squak.
 
burnouts are nice when ya want them
but i have an open wheeler diff on my 350 monaro and it makes it hard to get going in a drag (it just sits there and i can shift 1st 2nd 3rd and it just sits) so i have to ease the trottle and try to reduce wheelspin, or get a LSD and bigger tyres (they are already 245's)
a mate of mine has a nissan bluebird with a SR20 conversion that he has heavly modified (with the aid of alot of money) and that pulls 236Kw at the wheels (about 440hp at the flywheel) he has the same prob
 
I dont do them in my E30, only wheelspins in the wet, and that requires a clutch dump at over 3000rpm (I need a 6 cyl model) cos it has **** all power (a little over 100 hp).
My dads Nissan Maxima is a different story though:trouble: ...

I hear ya. I can sit all day and spin my tires and never leave that spot. Unfortunatly that does me no good when drag racing,not to mention the expense of new tires.
 
hahah...ive seen some guy get hit while standing behind a friends car doing a burn out. The car was moving forward ever so slightly and climbed onto a rock. The rock got shot back and hit the guy in the chest. It was a small rock yet it ended up breaking one of his ribs and penetrating his skin.
 
Or do what I did today (not intentionally, but it was amusing): straightening the bumper on a Land Rover: attach said bumper to the front of a tractor, put it in reverse. You go backwards about half an inch and then wheelspin away. Stopped it a second later, but put two holes in the gravel drive. 'Twas fun

a few years ago i was giving my friend a guard lift (VERY STUPID, i am now older a wiser) to see if the can get it spinning in third (auto). his wheel speed reached 140kph and the tread came off and smashed me in the face and a mate in the chest.
at first i though it ripped my jaw off, luckly it was still there. after a bit of pain ,a split lip and a black rubber marked face i was ok. my friend just had some bruises and rubber marks on his jumper
 
A good burnout modification for a fwd car:

Fill your windscreen wiper tank with diesel.
Take your windsreen squirter things out from the bonnet and rig them up to shoot through the top of the wheelarch.
When pulling burnout of choice, give the squirters a squirt and watch on as people think you = teh rule because your car can pull big smokey burnouts without realising you're cheating 👍
 
All my burnouts are on my brothers 125 trail bike when the tyres are about to be changed (roughly every 4 months because of the way he rides it sideways eveerywhere)

It can burn rubber in second too!:D
 
Remember when my dad pulled away with the handbrake on and we just whellspun about an 1/8th of a mile up the road. And it's only a 2 litre Volvo 440GLT.
 
I'd think, if you wanted to burn out, to do the same thing as drifters do. Go get a set of cheap tires at a scrap yard, for practically nothing, and burn out on those.
