RE: Burnout with the Traction control on.
I have experienced the same. It is hard with the auto to break them loose on pavement. I do not have any tune just a stock 2006 GT Premium. Maybe I am not doing it correctly! I guess I will keep trying till I get it right!

How many of you tried doing your first burn out with the traction control on.
That’s embarrassing.

Well, look at it this way- the car hooks up great with auto! Burning rubber is really not going to get you to win any races! I guess it makes the oil jockeys happy, though!
My auto GT needs to get the revs up in order to do any kind of burnout. But what's funny is that one time, with the TCS on, I made a left turn from a stop and the rear end got so loose I almost crashed! Went way out to the right, I was all elbows and *** trying to spin the streering wheel to the right. It then swung up to the left and I finally let off the gas, staightened out and pulled over to get some oxygen!

My first one was with it off, but i forgot to turn it off the other day and did one. The marks it left looked like i was going through the gears. Guess my traction control dont work that well. :P
