I've heard all these terms...What do you think is the best name?<IMG src=smileys/smiley17.gif border="0">

 

burnout just means ... well burning out... as in breaking the tires loose</P>


all the rest mean that you are burning out and holding the brakes down</P>


2 different things</P>

 

Yep A burn-out is just plan old fashion power applid to the drive tires. This is raw horse power at its finest.</P>


The power brake and others are burn-outs with a helping hand. This is normally done so because this is the only way the car could brake the tires loose.</P>

 

considering I can't do any of the others... I voted "burn out"<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

 

Ive heard "power packing" sound gay to me. I say burnout

 

You would only power brake with an automatic. You don't even have enough feet to power brake with a 5 speed.

 

I agree. a burnout is when you let em loose and just go for broke, making as much smoke and leaving as much rubber on the street as possible.

Oh yeh want to make a bet on that. I used to work for a radiator shop and delivered and picked parts for them. I drove the shop truck an Isuzu pup 5 speed truck. I would do total rollback burnouts and I would also powerbrake it at times. To powerbrake I would drop the clutch floor it and hit the brake as fast as I could It would sit there and smoke the rear tires LOL. I beat the hell out of that truck for over 9 months and it never broke down. I hated that truck and thought if it broke they would buy a new one. Oh it was still running strong when I quit. Talk about abusing shop equipment.</P>

 

Ya forgot the industry standard for the term. Static lock. Or stall test. lol.</P>


A 5 spd can do the good old fashioned power brake, its not hard if the rear brakes are set kinda lose. Its not as simple or easy as with an auto, but it can be done. Stop by I can give you a demonstration...</P>

 

Or what you do is "heel-toe" it. Right heel on brake and rock your right toe on the gas and then let the clutch loose quickly
