No offense, but if you don't know how to do a burnout, your have no business doing one. Spinning the tires in a slow front wheel drive car may be all fun and games, but spinning the wheels in a 300+hp rwd car with a limited slip diff can get someone killed VERY quickly.

dumping the clutch at 5k is insane, roll off the clutch and then just nail it, you will hit the rev limiter before no it

1) So is it just a matter of put it in first, bring it up to 5k rpm and take foot off clutch?

2) Isn't that stressful for the clutch / tranny?

3) I thought someone said something about a brake line that locks the front tires in place, and that it's standard on the GT's, specifically for spinning the tires to warm them up before a race, can anyone fill me in on that?

1) Yes. It's a Mustang, not a Honda you don't need 5000rpm, you have something called torque. I can easily do it with 2500-3000rpm and dumping the clutch.
2) Yes, it will be stressfull on the clutch/transmission.
3) You're talking about line-locks, I don't think there has ever been a production car with came standard with line-locks.

Are you turning off traction control? Your computer may be pulling throttle when your dumping it into second. Besides is that a new car (see the sticker on the window) give it 1000 miles or so before you beat on it (yea like I did).
