Default another newb question sorry.

Damn it's almost 2months i've had my car and I still have pretty basic questions.

I was going to make a new account with another name but i said forget that.


How exactley in the easiest explination do you burn out and make the tires smoke ?

lightley push the brake , smash gas then smash brake ? I am not really in the mood to expirement.

I was dropping off my girlfriend and a black SRT8 300 did a huge burnout with a looong smoke trail. And when he drove by me ... (and gave a "damn" grin ) he "Revved up" but the car was in motion ! Did he just drop to neutral when he was driving and smash the gas to make that sound ? When I rev up I just have the damn car in neutral , hit the gas and wait tull it's idle to continue.

thanks sorry about this.

Press ESP button till you hear the chime.

Car in gear... foot on brake... slowly release brake while applying throttle.

Rear tires should overcome braking resistance at a point in time that the front brakes still hold car...

Tires should spin creating a seemingly smokey effect...

Now Go!! Do Smokey Burnouts!!

Not reccomended to throw the car into drive while revving from neutral however...

tends to tear things up and break stuff... [:@]

That is a good way to blow out your transmission.

I speak with experience from my younger days and yes that was an expensive mistake.
