I personally think big burnouts at stop lights are for rednecks, unless you are killing off some old tires on an abondened road or some ****, burnouts show no sign of power and wastes alot of money. But chirping them in a racing situation or a WOT run is fine.

 

ive never done a long smoking burnout but my nittos dr's are at the end of their life, after storage in the spring ill probably mark up my road some before putting on the new ones. the fastest ive done is 130 on a straight open stretch of interstate on the way back from ohio and picking up my headers.

 

probably a good burnout atleast once a week, use to do them all the time when i was younger... now i have learned that tires and trans. get pretty exspensive... as for the top speed look at my avatar, i think i hit a 160 and the car just had a lid and catback at the time, and the pic was taken after i slowed down..now that my car is modded i havent topped it out...

 

two burnouts since i got the car and 145 coming from Vegas while the wife was asleep. Sure as hell woke her up.

 

I fishtail leaving college almost everyday. I have to turn left coming out and it usually takes about 10 minutes PER PERSON to wait for a gap in traffic. That is, normal people, that don't have 300+ horses, have to wait.

I've never gone over 90 in my car, and that was to test the splitter for 6LITEREATER.

 

170+ with plenty left in the pedal gtg love ta's...but it was a closed road with a professional drivers....won't ever let that happen again either!!!

 

Only at the track.. (see sig)

Tickets are expensive

Other than the chirp in to 2nd when i'm at 3/4 throttle or so.

 

here's a short vid of my truck, when it was time for new tires on the 20's.... the burnouts start at 2:02 into the video, if you just want to see those.

Only at the track.

 

I only really do them when my tires get worn and I am going to replace them soon. When I get new tires on, I never burnout or fishtail. I drive on them hard so they still wear out quickly, and when they wear out.....I smoke the **** out of them...im about to do it again very, very soon


I usually find good deals on tires, so its not like im spending $120 per tire anyway...

 

Rarely. That little button cost alot to press and tires are expensive

 

Burnouts are a right of passage between my friends and myself. Funny thing, if you look at my shop on GoogleMaps, there's at LEAST three fresh burnouts in front of it, HAHA.


As for speed, I know I've been WELL over 150MPH in my old LQ4/T56 '88 Formula. Past the end of the 140MPH speedo, no tach, 3.27s/245's, still pulling in fifth. What a ride!

 

155 and still had a gear left to run....decided that was enough for me though...won't be doing that again for some time....

Just ripped a few doughnuts yesterday actually hahahaha! I'll upload the pictures later on.

 

I don't intentionally burn them on my Camaro much anymore, but it still happens...

I've had both my Ws6 and z28 up to about 145. I had the WS6 over 140 with the t-tops off. That was kind of loud.

My friends and i used to do a shitload of burnouts. Here is a clip of some of the **** we used to do:

We had piles of free used tires and a tire machine in the garage....

 

this is where i try to do most of my burnouts.. lol enjoy.. this was a 13.3 pass.. ran a 13.046 @ 107 on saturday night! lid and cat back..

 

as a non-owner, dont you frequent burnout people worry about your 10 bolts?

 

A burnout is actually not going to do anything to the 10 bolt really.. as long as the tires are slipping and not hooking. hooking hard on a launch is what kills 10 bolts.

 

Agreed, traction is the 10-bolt killer since it puts the diff between an unstoppable force (LSx) and an immovable object (Earth)

I never do burnouts to the point of smoking or leaving rubber, but I'll spin 'em a bit taking off and I love to get it loose in a corner... I figure that's pretty easy on it and it's pretty damn fun too. Been up to 130mph in both of my TAs and in my GTO when I had it. The TAs were pretty much worn out at that point but the GTO felt like it had a lot more in it... will always regret not topping that thing out while I had it.

 

Yep. We're takin over.

 

I do most of my burnouts at the track. However, when I first bought the car I did the most burnouts in the cars lifetime (with me as the owner) taking different people for a ride in it.

148 was my top speed with another gear left.. it was 3:30am down 97 southbound for the maryland crew. Never again will I do that. Especially now that the car is broken.
