Really Stupid Question This is a bit of a stupid question,but I'm not completely sure on it.I was wondering how you guys do those really long burnouts?Do you just push on the brake and floor it?If so,wouldn' that really hurt the brakes?
Thanks

I'm assuming you have an A4.
Hold the brake, drop gear to neutral (this allows you to further clamp the brakes) and press down on the accelerator past 1800 RPM (stock RPM stall) The tires will begin to spin, push it more for more tire spin and more smoke. Avoid hitting high RPM, keeping it around 2000-3000 should be enough.
It doesn't put too much of a strain on the brakes as much as the rear. Don't go crazy, but once in a while a burnout is nice and healthy for your F-Body

You can also ease off the brakes a little allowing the car to move after you get them spinning, this is where all those 200ft black marks come from.
With a stick you turn your right foot sideways and use it to hold the brake and gas it, get the rpm's up a little and let out on the clutch, keep the brakes down and shift when needed.
P.S. don't tell your dad we told you.

Shum please don't ever do that to your car. I ripped my back pads off with the twisted right foot trick. To do it properly roll on the clutch totally out. push brake slightly with left foot. Compensate with some gas so you don't stall then liberally apply gas and your sitting perfectly still ripping them without the rear waggin all over the place.

or try redlining it, dropping the clutch, and quickly hit the breaks. youll lunge forward a bit untill you stop, but ive only done that on my truck just before i was planning on replaceing the clutch.
