Haha, i know all of you are gonna laugh your asses off at this, but here it goes

How do you burn out WITH THE BRAKE or do it and barley move so that you can get the smoke goin and keep the sound longer? i can do it in a damn automatic blazer Vortech, but i havent tried on a stick camaro, and i dont wanna do anything wrong please answer so i can cause some havick when leaving the school parking lot (RIGHT next to a middle school classroom )

Seems you have the basic part down... just need more gas!
Its gonna move no matter what, but the more the rear tires keep spinning, the less likely it is to go anywhere. Or you could always install a line lock....

Ok........I'm done laughing now j/k.
Anyway, you know how there's a happy medium w/ brake and accelerator on an auto car right?????? Well, now there's one more component to through in. You have to manage to feather 2 pedals w/ one foot and the other pedal w/ one foot. Either the (gas/brake) & clutch.......or (clutch/brake) & gas.......it's hard to explain. You gotta use heel and toe sideways.......PLUS this is a DUMB way to do it anyway.
I used to always just dump the clutch enough and get the RPM's high enough that they just light up the tires and the car didn't move b/c the tires wouldn't hook. But, as soon as you feather the clutch.......it'll hook and creep up on you............GEESH.........I'm done. I can't get the words out dude. Sorry .......someone wanna take over??????

I've done it in my v6 5 speed. It is kinda tricky and may require a little practice. What I did was got the rpms up to around 3500 and dumped the clutch. Then while keeping it floored, got on the brakes quickly, but not pushing down hard enough to stop the rear wheels. When you try this you know what I'm thalking about. The last time I did something like this at school (doughnut) they said they could either give me a ticket (via the local p.d.) or a days detention. Going into school 1/2 hour early was worth it!

You might want to practice this in an empty parking lot so you don't smack any cars/pedestrians/etc...

You're right, it's retarded. You know it's a doozie when the guy can't even spell "retarded" right in the posting.

You are doing something wrong if you do this with people nearby. Come on man, have some common sense. You do burnouts in front of everyone like that, and they're just gonna laugh at you and think you're a clown. Then they're gonna kick your *** for endangering people's lives. Save your burnouts for the track, where its allowed and encouraged. Not to mention giving us sports car owners a bad name.

Please, do yourself a favor. Practice in an empty parking lot before you try this in school. I would try and disuade you like everyone else but I did a burnout or two at school back in the day. I would have done it anyway. just practice in an empty lot first. If I was in high school and saw you mess that up I would make fun of you mercylessly.
