racing question

hey wasup guys, i want to ask a stupid question, sorry for my ignorance. I want to know how to smoke the reasr tires. In other words, make the rear tires spin to wamr them up and create smoke, but with the car staying in place. I have seen this done in many drag races but never found out how to do it. I have a stick by the way, thanks

Try window washer fluid (plain water works fine) under the rears on a smooth, flat surface. Be careful no one or nothing is around for you to hit or watching to get you arrested for demonstration of performance! Rev to 5k and dump the clutch. Light hold on brake pedal will keep forward motion down while you floor/pump the throttle to keep rears lit up (heel/toe). To do donuts, turn fronts one way, then soon as the car starts to rotate, go to opposite lock. Don't let the fronts touch the wet pavement or you die. "Hover" left foot over clutch, in case you need to end it, in a hurry. Post a video. LoL.

Hold down DSC button for 10 sec after start, until both DSC & TCS are disabled - indicators lit - (always use these in normal operation as they can save your and others lives!).

I see no direction for this thread to go other than the toilet. Closed.
