burn out
Ok for all of you that are going to flame about this just close the thread now. I tried to do a burnout tonight seeing that it was wet out and this is how it went. I reved to 4500 dropped the clutch and went to the brake right away, my result was wheel hop for a second or two and then it stalled. now i have seen pics and vids of people doing this on dry road and it was nice but i just couldnt do it. And once again im going to b hear about going through tires and what not, my reply to that is I bought the car not you, you can do as you chose with your and i will do what i want with mine, and i have seen on here before about how people have smart *** comments about the tires, and then they post right after that about how they went to a road course. Isnt that abusing your car as well, and going through tires as well? so if you have some honest opinion about this please let me know, i know many of you are very smart when it comes to this. Thanks again and sorry for the rant at the end of this, just some things bother me thats all.

P.S. traction was all the way off as well.

... and don't just drop the clutch- slip it/feather it a little at first to get a little wheelspin, then completely release the clutch while adding more gas. Please do this in an empty parking lot

did you disable the DSC/TSC? you won't pull off a burn out with those on!
unless you know how to drive a rear wheel car turn off the car and turn it back on before you go driving around town...I don't want to see anymore bad pics of precious 8 looking like a U-turn around a tree

Note this is not very good for your torque converter!

What he's trying to do is called a "brake stand", aka Line Lock. The line lock would generally refer to haveing a switch to hold just the front brakes on. In order to get the rear tires spinning freely you have to DROP the clutch at close to 8k and get immediately on the brake, but don't press it as hard as you can. Just enough to hold the car in place. The engine can overpower the rear brakes and kinetic friction on the tires if you have it at the top of the rpms.
I could do it rather easily in my 2.8L Z3 and my old 325is AT THE DRAGSTRIP the couple times I went. Ok, I'll admit, I've done it at stoplights a couple times, too. I think they were in the rain, though, where I wouldn't chew up so much rubber. I don't care. Flame me all you want.
Video tape yourself doing this so that you can live it over and over for the $50 worth of tires that you just melted. Then post it here!

I turn it DSC off when it rains and really have some fun roaring out of banks and parking lots...otherwise I don't like slipping the clutch too much, although I probably do when shifting anyways
