believe it or not, but burnouts are easier in an automatic. just hold the brake and give it gas and the rear tires will start spinning. with a manual its a little more complicated. you have to use all three pedals at the same time but only two feet to do it with. the best way to do a burn out in a manual requires you to hold the brake with the toe of your right foot and gas with the heal. bring the rpms up to around 5000, give or take, with your right heal. while still holding the brake with your right toe, release the clutch with your left foot. now you can either replace your right toe on the brake with your left foot and stay on the throttle, or just keep your right foot on both pedals. i prefer the latter so i don't stall it trying to stop. don't dump the clutch, you will stall it and possibly break something. but don't release the clutch too slow either. you can burn it up. and don't forget to keep an eye out the windows. last thing you want is to be moving and hit somebody or not notice the cop standing at your window lol.
