Tried all suggestions? I thought some people said 7k, so how is 4k trying all suggestions?

Also, you should probably turn off DSC, put in a turbo, shoot nitrous, and do a 20b swap. Don't forget to turn off the DSC too. Hold down the DSC for 10 sec.

Also turbos will let you do what you want no prob.

Did I mention turn off the DSC?

If you're afraid to "break anything" then you shouldn't be attempting you 0-60 run with a good launch/tire spin.

Honestly though, doing it once or twice isn't going to make the car suddenly combust and explode. If you did it everyday for extended periods of time then yea, you'll probably start damaging things, but once? You'd have to be very unlucky or do something really wrong.

I have the perfect solution to your problem:


SNOW + SUMMER TIRES + HILL = thelongestburnoutyou'veeverdone

Seriously, you have been given all of the information you could possibly need to understand why this car is not designed to do burnouts, and what you could possibly change.

Buy why bother?
