Anyone who has tried this on there "nice or weekend" car should be smacked! eriousely I would never see how long I can do dognuts until my car gets ruined or gets traction!

To the second part, soft tires make alot more smoke, but cost alot more and wear alot easier!

LMAO thats some funny ****..... yeah def not good to do so many donouts that your car over heats... reminds me of my buddy at the race track with his mach 1 mustang. Never made it past the bleach pit... he thought it would be cool to do a nice smoke show LOL sorry to say that ford never made it down the track that day and is still sitting in his garage with a blown head gasket.

my old 250 I6 maverick with a motor that was a POS could make a smoke show just about as good as that with an auto even


my rx7 will do donuts for a split second but the second I start to get traction my tires just start bouncing and wheel hop with an IRS setup is not a good thing

The real fun is trying NOT to spin the tires! That is harder than spinning them!

i agree with 5.0mustang... any jack@ss can go out there and spin the tires... i mean yeah it pretty cool to see but that dosent make your car any faster doing a 2 minute burnout! I would rather see somone yank the front wheels as they hook up and run like 10 or 11 seconds. Ill admit i mess around sometimes on the street and light them up but nothing crazy.. tires are too expensive!!!!
