I gotta say, those club meets are helluva lot of fun.

During our cruise thru DC last Sunday, a cobra did a burnout on the street.. in front of a S197 vett with top down, hahaha, guy riding with me and I were laughing.

It's rather easy. Dump the clutch around 3.5-4k. The cars not going to go anywhere right when you do this, so it gives you plenty of time to mash the brake. It takes a little practice, but once you got it down its cake. Just make sure to watch your rpms while your burning out, don't wanna bounce off the rev limiter.

When I bought my 2008gt/cs I had never once in my life driven a manual. I always wanted a stang it was a life long dream and I told myself no way will I get an auto. I went to the dealer and got in the car after buying it and was dikin around and they could tell I had never driven a stick.

Dealer- you know what your doin

me-no not really

Dealer- how about you come back tomorrow and we show you how to drive it

me- i been on some bikes must be the same thing just with your feet

Dealer- ok

I drove of the show room floor and stalled out down the street, stalled out about 40 times in the next month, but haven't done it in almost a year and now i shift like a champ.

the old man taught me how to drive stick in a church parking lot, lol big *** parking lot...after getting the feel for it he asked if i was ready to drive home, I said hell yeah, and I made it about 100 ft, and stalled at a red light right in front of the church parking lot...lol i made it home shortly after though lol

I must be missing something....doing a burnout with a manual is too easy!! the hard part is learning how to launch it with minimal wheelspin. i can roast the tires in my 93 vortech Cobra just dumping the clutch at 2500 rpms.

Do the burnout in 2nd gear, you have more tires speed. rev up, dump the clutch, move left foot over and hit the brake to stop movement.

Make sure you remember that your left foot is on the brake. A lot of the time when you are done with the burnout, it's easy to forget that the left foot is on the brake and to push it down harder, thinking its on the clutch pedal, while getting out of the gas. End result is hard stall.

my father taught me how to drive stick by registering my first car and telling don't come back till you find a job
