basically just hit the gas. faster the car easier it is. You know when it rains and you step on the gas too much and your car tires just skid where they are, same concept without the water. Easier to do in a manual.

Depending on the car you are trying to do it with, there are many ways to get around to it.

If its front wheel drive it makes it a little harder, but its dooable.

You can always pop the clutch, hold the e-brake and floor the gas, hold the brake and idle up, then let off the brake. With rear wheel drives you pretty much just punch it.

But its very hard not only on the tranny but tires and brakes too. It's not something that needs to be learned if your going to abuse it. You spend some money fixing that stuff after it breaks on ya.

^ Yup. He said it all with that last line. Things break. Things cost money to fix.

No way!! you got to impress the chicks and make your friends crap their pants. Do a brake stand and rev it till it hurts. woooohooo!!!

lol I used to love to do that sh*t...........but now I'm afraid to hurt my ride.

If you start in sand first then onto pavement itshouldn't hurt your car that much, plus it's easier to get em spin'n.As far as stuff like going down hills in reverse, then slamming it into first......not good for the ol tranny

yeah its a bad idea, for your engine, tranny and tires. If you hvae a manual, hold the clutch in and give it gas. Rev really high and then let off the clutch really fast, just take your foot all the way off it. The clutch will catch and the tires will try and spin as fast as they should at the RPMs you are at, but since your standing still your car can't get traction as quikcly as it wants to so you just stand still.

4WD burn outs are impressive, theres a Suby up here that can do it, damn that things is mean
