I have a question for every one out here, I was wondering how every one dose burn outs with their manual tranny, i have a 65 truck with a 4 speed on it and i tried a burn out and was succesful the first time goin threw all four gears, then when i came to try it again it make a loud clank and ruined the clutch, ( i revved it up to about 4g's and dumped the clutch hard 
) I was askin how every one dose their burn outs and launches cuss i want to buy a manual tranny camaro and dont want to burn up the clutch on the camaro.

Yeah, what he said or line locks are nice.. (you push the break in, push a button, it holds the brakes on, leaving your other two feet free to work the clutch and gas, makes things a little easier)
As far as the clutch goes... seems like if you run a good bit of power or race a lot or both... you're gonna go through clutches pretty quick no matter what, there are lots of guys who regularly do 5,000+ RPM dumps with these things... And if you're just wanting do a burn out, you dont even need half that to get these cars to smoke um.

Line Lock. Line Lock. Line Lock. 
When I have to do it without one, I use the heel of my right foot and stomp on the brake. I use my toes to rev it up and dump the clutch with my left foot. Then I flex my toes back and forth to control the revs during the burnout. However, that's the "shade tree" way, using a linelock is the right way.

its installed in the hydraulic lines for the front brakes. You mash the brake pedal, it pressurizes the hydraulic lines the line lock closes some solenoids and holds up the pressure in front of it so you can let off the pedal and the brakes stay on. you turn it on/off by way of a button.
