You could dump some oil in the gas tank. That would give you a trail of smoke where ever you go.

Automatic is easy. Just step on the brakes and the gas at the same time. Manual is a little more tricky. Put it in first and rev. Once you drop the clutch your left foot has to get to the brake quickly but on hard or it will stall. Motor Trend wrote a how to on this. Search on google, but thats pretty much it.

Istead of doing that with a manual, I just heel/toe the brake and gas pedal. It works alot better, But I rather just rev it and dump the clutch

Easier way is in a manual just press the brake with your right foot heel and the gas with your right foot toes. Basically have your right foot controlling both brake and gas and then rev it up with the clutch in and then dump the clutch. If you start to move forward press the brake harder. If you aren't moving foward let up on the brake to make the burnout easier on your back brakes.

And use the front of your foot to adjust the RPMs.

Once this method is perfected grab second and then third gear.

The least damaging method would be to install a line loc/roll control.
