Also, real racers with slicks hate when people with street tires roll through the water box and do burnouts at the track cause the street tire will leave water all the way down the track because it is held in the tread pattern. That causes guys with slicks to have traction issues at times.

First of all you're not revving high enough. Revving up gives you ALOT more power.

Find an safe open area with plenty of open space ahead of you, even to the sides.

first do it without the brakes. From a stop, clutch in, rev to hold steady for a second around 4,000 rpm (don't worry, that clutch-in rev won't hurt anything). Let the clutch out almost as fast as you can and put the gas to the floor at the same time. You will light the tires up nicely. To know if you did it right...if the corners of your mouth are stuck near your ears, you probably did it right.

Now after a couple tries, you will develop confidence, and that will feel natural and easy to do.

Now experiment with doing the same thing but as soon as you let the clutch out, slam on the brakes half-hard while still having the gas pedal to the floor. Keep increasing pressure on the brake until you slow back to a stop.
the more you practice, the shorter the distance you will launch before coming to a stop. It's really pretty easy to do it within a couple feet once you get a feel for it.

One more thing always be safe. Don't do it past school busses with the red lights flashing, or at the red light next to the state police barracks, or any other situation where if you're not sure you are in control that an innocent person or their property or even worse, YOUR LSx CAR could be injured or killed! :-O

1st 3 passes in my old one were 14.4, 14.7 with a burnout, then drove around the water and didnt burn out and ran 13.8. Burnouts are just for show on any street tire.

I think I disagree with most of the posts regarding burnouts at the track. I have noticed at least a .3s improvement when burning out on my old gs-c's at the track. I would drive around the water box, back into it, spin them good and spin out of the box, slowly stopping past the line, backing up and then launching at about 1800rpm, versus only 1500

I side step my clutch pedal when doing any sort of burnout on the street, but only at about 3000rpm, I dont like to hurt my poor 10 bolt too much.

I would have to concur. Plus, DRs or 'racing rubbers' are designed to operate at a different temperates. Engineers give no though to those higer temperature ranges when they design a street tire so you are basically cause excessive wear . The performance of the tire wasn't designed to increase at the higher temp range.

Also, it is VERY VERY bad on tires designed for wet traction.

I'm not an expert, but isn't that what a z rated tire is, rated for higher speed because of higher temperature range?

Is there an advantage to going past the line? I understand the major HP dragsters do it because they don't have front brakes but I don't see why the extra hassle with a street car. We had plenty of room to flip off the line lock and stop, then creep into the lights with the S/ST car (10.90 index).

I do burnouts cuz.... Well it's just damn hillarious. Any old people around instantly get very pissed at you and start yelling or call the police. It's funny how old bastards get so mad at that ****, like it's really actually hurting anything. There's black streaks all over the streets around here because of me. There's this road on the back side of the lake where no-one's around at night, me and my friends go out there and leave rubber all up and down that bitch.

my street where i live on has tire marks all over it from me. 1 of them is 3/4 the block long and like 7 or 8 houses long.

so does the main street.

DarthQuaider

oh yeah. 1) Rev between 4 and 5k 2) quickly take your foot off the clutch 3) immediately put enough pressure on the brake to slow the car to a stop, but not enough pressure to make your revs drop (a sweet spot if you will, just enough to hold the car still and not bog the engine-the higher the rpm=the more smoke) 4) take your foot off the brake and shift into 2nd as fast as possible and then get back on it to stop the car again 5) repeat step 4 but shift into third instead this time, this step will take more practice than shifting into 2nd, but if you get it down- smoke will start barrelling out and you will soon fill the entire street with it and possibly not be able to see anything. 6) let off the brake and keep it floored and try to stay straight, this will leave those beautiful, dark black ribbons in the street much like a trophy of you showing the pavement who's boss. 7) run! get the f*ck outta there! quick before you get a wreckless operation ticket!!!!

I've found that it's easiest to turn my right foot 90 degrees to the right, stick my heel on the brake pedal and use my toe to give it gas. I use my left foot to depress the clutch. Rev it to about 3500-4000 and side step the clutch and add a little gas to keep the tires spinning. I don't move an inch when I do this and it's a lot easier than trying to dump the clutch then push the brake in. See my post in the general LSX discussion forum.

Please don't weck your car, I don't want to see another ls1 in the junk yard so take it real e-z at first and learn what you car in going to do befor it does it(not just burning off but with eveything).

aside from burnning out, I live out side the city limmits and there are lots or burn off marks on the road out there ( there is 2 ls1 and a big block on spray that live there plus my friends so go figgure) anyway one day a CHP had someone pulled over in front of my house and he was looking all over the road like WTF. it was so funny.

Rev it to the revlimiter, stick it into 3rd and drop the clutch... LOL JUST KIDDING, what ever you do dont just dump the clutch you will be picking up you rear end.
