    What I do is hold the brake with the heel of your right foot, hold the clutch with your left, and with the toe of your right foot, rev to about 3500, drop the clutch. If the car moves, use more brake, if it starts to bog, let out the brakes a little. If you are used to heel-toe downshifting, it's not hard. With my car, I can do a pretty good standing burnout without using the brakes at all. If you are using street tires and drag racing, you dont need to do a long burnout anyway.

      hmmmm. cable lock system? have to look into that. I would love to have just my front brakes hold and not my rear disk brakes. I tried to burnout in my A/T last night and I did nothing but grind the brakes I think. I was scared the rotors would break in half or something like that. LOL

          I left nothing short of 30-40 ft of one wheel peal on my local highway the other night- and my car is the worst setup possible for this with 3:08 gears.

          brake/gas= little gas, pump brakes a little, put gas in some more, let off breaks some more, and bam! smoke pooring out of the one wheel, I dont have to floor it, My RPM's went to 5500 and stayed there till my "tire" got traction and thats it!

            Also you can power brake it, put you foot all the way down on the brake, then you give it all you have, then you let off of the brake, i did that with my dad 1995 Olds 88, and because its front WD and it of course no posi trac, i left onle one tire mark, he was kinda proud of me the, he had a 1970 Buick GS 454 and he went through 8 rear ends, and 3 drive shafts. He is pretty cool, but i dont want him working for a rice burner company, (toyota) he is into them, he is also 48 so its kinda weird. But try that, that may help your burn-out problem...

              In in automatic try putting it in park. Then quickly shift into drive then immediatly slam on the gas. If you do it fast enough you will accelerate while the car is still switching into drive.

              You can also try the above by starting out rolling in reverse.

                  Not to smart if you floor it in reverse. Just a slow roll.

                    Hmmmmmmm. I was pissed off one day and i floored my 3.4L Camaro at a stoplight. It spun for about 3-4 seconds before tires caught traction. I didnt see any smoke and my back end was going to the right. My dad says my car has a limited slip/slip posi rear. Does this mean both tires spin? or what? Im curious if both tires spin on my car. Im guessing it does if my whole car went to the right and i had to turn out of the burn out.

                    My car has a z28 suspension on it making it sit higher in the back than in the front. Ive never seen any other camaro jacked up in the back like mine. I have done nothing to my springs or shocks or anything. It came like that from the dealership.

                      If your car has limited slip, then both tires will spin. You won't see any smoke from flooring it off the line. Usually you'll need to spin the tires for atleast 5 seconds to produce smoke.

                        Easy. Left foot clutch, right foot brake and gas.
                        put ur right foot angle liek this / just barely on the brake.
                        EAsy. You dont even have to rev it high... unless ur car doesnt like you. :rolleyes:
