RE: smoking my tires
Stop with your front wheels against a speedbump! 
Have 6 friends stand in front of your car and hold it back! (or 6 enemies if you don't have any stupid friends!)
Hook a chain from your rear frame to the nearest light post!
Do your burn offs pointing UP a steep hill!

please keep in mind... burnouts are expensive (I know I had to replace Yokahama's) and can be dangeros; ie. wall, other cars... cops.

RE: smoking my tires
Somebody should mention turning off the traction control!!!!!!!!
Oh wait, I just did.
To be ALMOST stationary, turn off trac control, push clutch down, rev to 2500-3000, jerk left foot up off clutch and slam down on the brakes. Not real easy on the system, but effective.

I don't do a lot of brake-stands, but when I do, the tail end drifts to the right (just an FYI for those of you thinking this would be cool next to a car at a red light).
Anybody replaced the stock tires yet? That Z-rating makes them expensive!

RE: smoking my tires
Inrease your tire speed and you won't drift to the side as much. And if you think tires are expensive, just wait until you start replacing warped brake rotors, pads, rebuilding caliper pistons due to heat damage, and everything else that is associated with power braking. Occasional power braking is fine. Well, not fine, but not real likely to cause damage to the rear brakes. If you are wanting to heat the tires for drag racing, do your self a favor and get line locks.
