Dude I use to have a '04 AT. You cant lol I tryed many times. When I had my 16's I would get some wheel cherp but unless it just rained your not doing any burn outs.

Actually, just smack the brakes and floor the accelerator. Keep changing your foot pressure, and then release the brake's, then repeat keep the accelerator slammed. I don't recommends it tho, we were messing around with my friends car and am sure we fucked something up (02? Corolla). lol

Yeah I'm sure the turbo or super could get the wheels to spin a little.......he could always put it in neutral rev it up to like 5 grand or more then slam it into drive lol that might do it but don't reccommend it at all thats how u get a new tranny but at least then it could b the 6 speed

Front wheel drive brake stand burnout?



To OP: tie your car to a tree and floor the gas.

need to increase your overall WHP.. throw a turbo decal on the back trunk and add one of those performance chips you can find on ebay.. that is sure to achieve the ability to do burnouts...

Throw a smoke bomb under the rear axle and play some recorded screech sounds through the stereo as you take off. By the time impressed onlookers turn their heads to look at you pull away.

Actually, I've done one in an automatic. It's quite simple:

1) shut off the traction control
2) drive onto a slightly wet surface
3) Hold down brake pedal, then floor the accelerator
4) Gently let up/feather the brakes until the rear wheels begin to spin
5) let up the brakes a bit more to let the car inch forward onto dry

MAJOR SMOKE

I can do this in a V6 mustang (my favorite rental car for abuse) at will, as well as just about any rear drive shitbox car that I rent.

The trick is just feathering the brakes - you don't want to totally release them or the meager power will allow the tires to hook up and off you go ... you want wheelspin, not motion.
