You would def know if you have traction control. At least in my 01, its lifts the gas pedal. I did this in the burnout box too... I didn't stall it because that was the first time I felt the TC kick on and I had no idea it was gonna lift the pedal. I pulled in the clutch immediately, it was def a WTF WAS THAT moment until I realized the ghey tc was on lol.

Ok the brake and toe method you put your right heel on brake and toe on gas,left feet on clutch.You give it a little gas and start to let the clutch go until you can feel it grab then once it grabs you start to push the gas at that point its like a automatic.That means I wouldnt have the power to spin the wheels without reving it up t0 like 3500-4000rpm.

See when I had my 94 A4 z28 it had the power to spin the wheels just giving it a little gas,I didnt have to rev it up.It would break loose about 2500 rpm. Do you think it can be my exhaust also since I dont have much back pressure.I have LT with 3in true duals and x pipe with a chambered muffler and no cats?

Thats what I'm saying I shouldnt have no trouble the only way to do it is rev it up to 3500 4000 rpm and dump the clutch and hit the brake.I cant even do the heel and toe method because it wont spin them in low rpm.Say lets say if I was going to pull something with a chain "not going to do it just saying" and I started giving it some gas until the chain tighten that means it wouldnt be able to pull it?Seems like the car is not getting gas or I dont know.

my car is the same way. when i first got my car i felt like an idiot when i stalled it tryin to do a burn out lol until i got the rpms above 3500 and then my problem was fixed. i would not worry about your car too much. i just think its a normal thing for a M6 car

Minimum rpms is 3,500 for me when I do one without the line lock. With a line lock it doesn't matter a whole lot, just enough to break the tires loose gets the job done.

I always drive around the water box and back into the front of the water box and just get the tires a little wet. Left foot on clutch dump at least 3500rpms left foot gently apply brakes before car roles out then try to keep rpms up close to 6000, but try not to hit rev limiter. I would not suggest doing many John Force burn outs, your clutch will not last long. I had to replace mine after 22,000 miles.

Did you have the stock clutch?I have a centerforce dual friction with a centerforce steel flywheel.I have street tires so I just do a little burnout too.Thanks for the advice.

Fried stock clutch with Drag Radials, hopefully LS7 clutch and flywheel will hold up longer. Probably well over 100 passes on stock clutch
