How do you burn out on either a 4-port or 6- port automatic? Without damaging your transmission. Cuz I've heard that you can put it in neutral, rev to redline and then change it to drive but I've heard that this damages your tranny. Any other suggestions on how to burn out?

 

why do you want to "burn out" in your car?

 

Yep, that will make the tires squeal. I used to do that in my 1968 Plymouth Valiant when I was 18. It had a slipping transmission before I started doing that. Doing "Neutral Drops" made it worse.
I wouldn't recommend it on a fine car. You bought the wrong car to do burnouts. Get a Rustang.

 

Maybe he likes uneven tire wear?? But if your bent on doing one also turn off the DSC and pour bleach on your rear tires.

This reminds me of my last burnout back in in the late 80's. I had this Chrysler with a worked 340 V-8. The burnout was so 'cool' but gear oil got into the rear brake drums. Cost me over $600 to fix the damage all that coolness cost. Sometimes I miss the pre internet days, when youthful stupidity was confined to ones circle of friends.

 

My father had a lincoln mark 7 company car.. i remember burning out in it and then spending the next hour looking for 3 of the hubcaps.

 

When I was 17 I had a 72 Lincoln Mark IV, That had a 460ci V-8. That did great burnouts and the 9" Ford rear axle was bulletproof. I could create a cloud of smoke that would enveloped the whole car. All of the crew hanging out on the back dock of Chi Chi's loved them. I stopped when I wore out a set of new tires in 3 months.

 

Why do you want to burn out? To be like the cool kids?

 

You don't.

Well... You could could use nitrous; you should ask easy about his intake manifold before trying that.

 

Swap for an MT

 

Here's my input:

My car is healthy enough that at sea level I can chirp the tires on dry pavement with a 2k rpm brake-launch.

At this altitude, I cannot chirp the tires even with a brake launch.

I have, however,"burned out" once. I was at taco bell at the drive thru window on concrete, had my car in neutral, hit the throttle and got to 3-4k rpms, realized I was in neutral, and for some reason instinctively slammed it into drive. The tires spun for like 3-4 seconds and made a nice, loud peel out sound (more then a chirp). It didn't feel bad on the tranny, but I wouldn't do it again.

I have heard from Easy that with his 55 shot nitrous he has enough power to burnout in first.

 

uh? Automatic NA burnouts? haha


Options
1. Drive your sexy car and never worry about it
2. Sell your car for a mustang
3. Get a manual RX-8, turn off DSC and dump the clutch at about 4k(like your supposed to)
4. Test your theory of neutral dropping and see what happens to your tranny after oh the second "burn-out"
5. Hit a brickwall or something to lock the front wheels and turn off DSC and pop it into tiptronic mode and floor it in first. Add water or bleach under rear wheels for cool effects.



Just my $.02

 

^I agree with the above statements!

 

TBH, I've always wondered how they did the burnouts before the drag. I had seen it done personally...by dumping the clutch and holding the break an little..but whenever I tried it in the same car, I FAILED. That's one of the main reasons I don't go to the track, I'd make a fool of myself in 1/4 mile time and burnouts

 

I've done two burnouts in my car. GUYS I KNOW I KNOW. its not healthy but oh well. I do it maybe once a year.


Turn DSC off. Rev to like 4-5k . Step off the clutch like instantly. You'll move a little bit. But let the gas go to the floor. Quickly begin braking to stop the car from moving then slowly lessen the force on the brake. And then its a balance between the gas and brake. If tooo much brake, you will stall.

 

step one hold down the brake
step two hold down the gas
step three ??????????
step four profit ?????

 

Yeah, I figured that was it. I more than likely applied too much brake and stalled it quite a few times.

 

Burning out is easy imo when you have the power. Takes more skill in the 8. And its an impossibility with the N/A ATX 8

 

This thread is smelling like FAILURE

 

I did it =] lmaooo with intake and midpipe. break and gas.. i saw rpm go to 7k and the cars still in place. Here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cw0qlkWNLQ

 

by the way please save yourself a new tranny and don't do the reving to redline and droping it into drive. You will screw up everything. Don't treat an 8 that way. If you wanted to waste $ on tires then buy a manual car and burn out all day.

 

 

lmfaooo didn't think an auto 4 port NA can burn out?

 

the problem is horsepower. not the transmission.

125whp@redline, so the horsepower available for you at 2k rpm using your brakes is just... negligible.

5whp+10whp for intake and midpipe puts turbovtecs car at 140whp. add in wet slick concrete and i guess burnouts are possible.

 

holy **** its slow. 125??? That's worst than a normal civic..

 

i've seen quite a few 4 port auto dynos at 125-130whp.

with a 55 shot, easy e1 is up to 180something whp.
