awsome but out

Wait a minute.... if the corvette was a stick, that means he would have had to have his foot on the gass and clutch hit the gas dump the clutch and move over to the brake pedal and get on it just right for the tires to brake loose and then hold him in place. Unless he used the E brake?

I know cause I tried this in my ranger its really difficult to go from getting the tires loose to hitting the brake without stopping the back tires or not enough and flying into a ditch. With 14" rotors in th rear or whatever and probably 4 piston calipers I would imagine he hit the brakes too hard.

i used to burn both tires in my ranger with a 5 speed and 3.0 with no problem. all i had to do was rev it a lil dump the clutch and hit the brakes, the real trick was grabbin second when first wasnt enough.

my guess with the vette was an idiot fryin the clutch before they even tried to do the burnout in the video and as its been said the big rotors and everything thats engineered to make it not spin working against an already weak clutch.

as for the trans am that is exactly why they require sfi approved bellhousing in racing. there is nothing nice about a clutch or torque converter comming apart at 6000+ rpms.

No I could get the tires to spin just fine on my truck the tricky part is hitting brake pedal fast enough and soft enough to just hold the front tires in place will the back tires burn out.

PLus in the vette video you could see where the tires started to spin and then the entire car just stopped (where i assume he hit the brakes way to hard).

Some people just don't deserve to even have cars that nice. Put them back in a pinto hatchback where they belong.

The traction control can be shutoff easy enough. My guess the clutch was bad before. Thats why they shot the video.
