I did a burnout the first time in the car on the test drive. The dealer thought he could trust his car to a 49 year old dad with his 15 year old son. My son was talking about Evos and Hondas until I had to school his *** with the TA.

I still burnout every chance I get. I do it from a roll in 1st or 2nd. God! Are these cars fun!

For top end: I've layed the speedo on the 160 pin once in the black 02 just to see if it could with 3.90's. Definately made it in 5th at around 6k if i remember right. As for burnouts, there is really no point. I did it once on the street, and went completely sideways while in it. I would have to do one in a parking lot to be able to stay in it. The track however, is where it is necessary. If your car has real bawlz, you get excitement by taking off in first, not getting any traction whatsoever and going completely sideways, shifting it hard to second, watch your tach fly up the rpm's to the shift point again while going sideways the other way roasting them off not getting any traction whatsoever, shifting hard to third, spinning some more while straightening out your car, finally catching some traction and flying, shift it hard to fourth, ride it, and then get out of it. Sorry, but sitting there spinning the tires doesn't exactly get me going. Again, this would never be a normal occourance for me, only with the right females are in the car.

I rip em up every now and then..when I do it and I don't give the Girl Friend a little warning, she gets a pissed at me..

She's just scared of the car..it'll go sideways just as fast as it goes forward, expecially when I get the T56 in it..

I did it a few times on my old kdw's but other than that I don't like to draw attention to myself. Here is the most memorable one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eBCDA0OjEY

As for smoking burnouts, I still haven't done one since I got the car. I have no trouble getting sideways in all of 1st and 2nd gear and I've done that a good 10 – 12 times this year. Frankly, with over 540+ rwhp on a M6 with a stock 10 bolt (plus 3.90 gears) I've been trying to limit the shock to the rear end as best as possible. Once I have the 9" sitting in at the shop, I'll go ahead and let it rip.

There are various techniques to get the tire (1) spinning. Once you get it started spinning, keep it spinning.

Do not underestimate the burnout ability of toyotas.

Har, Toyota is the Chevy of Japan, they don't have the best interiors but they sure as hell got the best motors. If you want to talk about burnout failure I have one car for you. Honda CRX HF.

Or complete burnout failure:

Old *** Jetta TDI manual

My friend has one, and he always eggs me on to burnout, so now it was his turn. He told me it woulden't do one. I said bullshit just dump the clutch, he said it still won't. Then I said prove it. He revved it high, dumped the clutch, and absolutly NOTHING. Not even a chirp hahaha

Ive put about 4,000 miles on my car and do my share of short burnouts. Not john force style. When I bought the car it had brand new goodyear (whatever they are) stockers. When I pulled them off to take out the rearend there was little noticeable wear from front to back. I was suprised. But now I need to get those hoosiers mounted.

I'll occasionally lay into it leaving a stopsign/light and lite 'em up in first, but usually after that I just kinda short shift up to speed.
