RE: doin burnout using e-brake

fwd cars use the e-brake to do a burnout for 1 main reason, they dont have enough torque to do it without the resistance of the non-driving wheels being locked up. brakes are baised so that the front brakes grip harder than the front brakes (usually about 70/30), so pressing the brake pedal would lock up the driving wheels more than the non-driving wheels. that would make it harder to do a burnout. by using the e-brake to lock up the rear wheels and while letting the front wheels spin without brake resistance, it is easier to get the wheels spinning.
now, for a rwd car, such as a mustang. most rwd cars have more torque, because most of them have V6s and V8s, compared to the I4s and smaller V6s in fwd cars. So they will usually get the wheels spinning without the assistance of resistance from the non-driving wheels. so, just rev it and drop it and watch the wheels spin. if you need resistance to get them spinning, slightly apply brake pedal pressure. again, since your brakes are baised, brake pressure will put more resistance on the front, or non-driving tires in this case. this will help to get the rear tires spinning.

It's POWER'BRAKE' BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE. BREAK is when something physically BREAKS and no longer works correctly lol.
Just put your foot on the gas, press on your gas pedal, once it breaks your stall the tires will start to spin, you don't need to keep the brake all the way to the floor if you get them spinning fast enough.
