Default cant brake-stand!

I cant figure this out but my tires wont break when i go for a brake-stand. the power is there and a new dual friction centerforce clutch but it just wont do it. any ideas why? maybe i should get a line lock

what?

man try this, get it up to about 3500rpms or so cover teh rear brake with left foot. rev it and hurry up and side step the clutch to be on the brake. and now floor it. as you feel the car start to spin play with the gas and brake to see where you want to be at

thats wierd, hell you can get a 4 banger to do it. could be teh clutch is too strong and not letting any amount of slippage to start. im thinking your on the rear brakes to much

can you smoke them at all? if you hold the thing like 4k and just drop it will they spinn? if not maby your rear brakes are to tight, it should spinn a little at least.

Wte the concrete, put it on 1st. take you foot of the clutch and lete it move @ iddle speed. (no foot on the gas @ this time.) When you R on top of the water. Step on the gas and the brakes @ the same time. Play with the throttle a bit so you don't redline.

if their ideas don't work... put your front bumper against a concrete wall and drop it from as high a rpm as you possibly can. that oughtta do it, or SOMETHING cool will happen anyways :P

P.S. ---- don't do that.
