Step1: rev car up to good stall
Step2: dump clutch and quickly apply brake, just enough so the car doesnt move, and enough throttle that the tires smoke good
Step3: hold for as long as u like
Step4:let off gas and push in clutch and roll up to line like normal driving.

Or you can just get a line lock <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

See Pic... J/K.

You don't need a linelock if you are willing to practice a little.

Like above:

1) Hold RPM at 5000, clutch in, first gear.
2) Drop clutch quickly.
3) Move left foot onto brake pedal and apply just enough pressure to stop rolling.
4) Hold throttle to 4500-6000 while heating.
5) When done, release brake, and easy up on the gas.

Don't forget Step #6: Save $$ for new rear brakes...because that method will eat'em up in a HURRY. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

nah! do it! the rear only does 30% of the braking anyways.

possibly an exception, but everyone in our club does burnouts this way.. and we all still have our original rear pads and rotors.

it's not that hard once you figure it out and do it a few times, just make shure you have plenty of room for error, try it in a big deserted parking lot or something.

Anyone tried launching the car while using the line-lock at the track?? Just wandering if it would keep from "shocking" the rearend if you feathered the clutch against the line lock... then hammer it on the green?? Sort of like a "poor-man's" transbrake.
Just dont know if its possible?????? Anyone got any clues.....
Sounds similar to what your talking about here... :-) Just have to be a little easy on the accelerator.

Just hear people talking about breaking rearends with M6's is easier because you could "shock" the rearend when you launch it. With an automatic, you can preload it so its not such an impact? Dont know, just what I've read from this site...

Thanks
