Sold the auto 5.0. This is my first 5-speed and I want to know do a powerbrake/burnout in a manual 5.0. I heard it was a bit tricky. I have a new clutch, tires, and I'm ready to bring havoc to my neighborhood. So, all help is appreciated.

its not tricky at all. Rev her up, dump the clutch and put that foot on the brake, while holding the throttle... Here's a short vid of my buddy: How to get rid of ur old drag radials

That was sweet but what does it do to the rear brakes?

IT WILL F UP YOUR BRAKES. I learned the hard way. Rev up, drop the clutch, hold the brake and have fun. Pretty easy.

It's worth it if the burn out contest prize is a hot chick other wise I'll stick with lite'n em up on the go. Which I did this morning. It's sweet looking back and seeing TWO black marks.

Mine starting to grind then all of a sudden I heard a snap and I had to call a tow truck cause my brakes were locked.

its not that hard on the rear brakes. What u do is only give it just enough brake to keep the car from rolling, otherwise its no worse than slowing down from like a 60mph cruise... and he did it in his auto before, its prolly easier on the car now b/c its a 5 speed.

I guess you gotta know what you're doing. My tires are pretty much shot. Maybe I'll give a try before I go get new ones. Or maybe not.
