Ha- rx8club.com just sent me an update- more replies to this old thread.
Sure.. why not.
click...
Yeah.
Also note the RX8 is my daily driver.
It's easier to abuse a car when you don't need it to get to work.
I was trying to do a burnout without being too hard on the car...and I obviously failed miserably.
The new set I put on after those burn out attempts... already shot.
(when I pulled them off to put the new wheels and tires on late last year- yes, had previous alignment issue where I barely tapped a curb sliding sideways stopped in an ice storm)
I did upgrade after that.
(sorry potato phone quality pic)
And the staggered sticky BFGoodrich tires would be even harder to do a burn out with.

Do you have an 8 and know how to do a burnout? Cause i have brand new pirelli centuratos and mines 100% stock. I can still do a decent burnout fairly easily

I have driven my 2004 rx8 automatic for 100,000 plus miles , and the puddle of grease remark was about the automatic trans 8 , even a dumb *** knows after driving the automatic 8 , that from a stand still it has very little if any torq for a burn out
. I am also US Navy river rat retired, honorably discharged, decorated, disabled. I didn't blow **** up i just killed people on the rivers of cambodia and laos. You shouldn't give bad advice but instead keep your opinions of others to your self. You are stereo typical of a cyber bully trying to garner political currency in the form of mis placed admoration . You probably weren't in the military , bullys usually get their *** kicked at least in the Navy lol

I don't get it. You can do a burnout in an automatic car! Just hold the brake pedal with your left foot and floor the accelerator pedal. The rear wheels will spin in one place. It's not gonna create a lot of smoke, but they will spin in one place.

You must be practical here my friend. An automatic can't do a burn out with out the routine you quoted here , which would soon trash the automatic trans operation and besides given the low torq of the automatic 8 , one has to ask what is the point. If you can do a thing doesn't mean you should do a thing. Your automatic trans would not last long. To say yes i can do a burn out with my automatic trans and ruin the trans for that purpose means to me you have more money than brains lol.
