don't rev so high (6000? holy moly)....try this

Traction control OFF

rpm to 2500-3000
let clutch out quickly

you should hear the tires squeel....if not, you have a problem somewhere good luck
and happy tire spinning

my car is 5 speed and l have burned a lot of rubber on stick shifts.. l do know how to burn rubbers. and yes TCS was off. but this car didnt burn the tires. l revved the car up to 6k rpm.

yeah l do spin tipes when l floor the car off the line.. l spinn all the way through the second gear.. but l am talking about BURNOUT.. stay and do burnouts.

Timing????

To get it right, sure timing is involved, but I have just wanted to take off quickly with the car and ended up sideways. And I have the factory 18" wheels/tires and I am bone stock.

Basicly, a few thousand RPMs and coming up pretty quickly with the clutch will break em way loose. Floor it at that point and you will be loose for at least 40 feet if you can keep the car pointed straight.

for some reasion while l am accerating and if l try to hit the brake, brake is getting very hard, almost impossible to push.. this much be computer.

Hopefully the sarcasm in there was sufficiently obvious... [&:]

If you haven't gathered by the now, the trick is either heal-toe the brake and the gas...

Though, I have always wondered what the appeal of that was?
I like watching other people destroy their cars/tires and certainly in a water box (with drag tires), but I have not felt the need to do it myself with the '06 (a break-stand that is, not just burning the tires from a stop - I know how much fun that is...)

I see what your saying now.....

you may be right, it may be that the ABS or simply the computer
will not allow you to have power to the wheels and be braking
at the same time....

I've never tried it and don't plan too.....it's not for me....I want my car
to last awhile....

What year is your mustang? Is it manual or automatic? What size rims do you have?

I have a 2007 GT convertible manual with 17" rims. I used to do burnouts with my 2002 GT convertible with ease (50% throttle at 3k and those tires will slip right out on you). In this 2007GT I can dump the clutch at 5kRPM, throttle wide open (TCS and AC off) and all I get is "chiiirp" and the car bogs down. I think the reason is throttle lag caused by the new throttle by wire system and the tall *** tires that come with 17" rims. I think those tall tires really grip well in burnout conditions. Also a conversable has more weight in the back and as a result, has better traction. I have not tried smoking the tires now that I have lower profile tires on my 18" rims, but maybe I will give it a shot.. Wait a minute.... OK, I just gave it a shot with my new tires and it definitely helped a lot. I can now do a smoky 180 degree turn (with some effort, however).

I saw a mention of applying the brake with the gas on. The brake system is power-assisted by the vacuum from your intake manifold. With the gas applied you have no power assist on your brakes anymore. Also, even if you stand on the brake and gas in 1st gear while rolling at at 10mph you will not get any tire slip.

If you want to sit and smoke the tires while doing as little damage to your car as possible I can give you my opinion on how to do it, if you pm me.

Ummm, these cars are basically set up to do peel outs or brakestands.

Take off the TCS

Rev it up about 5k, quickly let the clutch out so the tires break free.
Keep the gas up
get your left foot on the brake and hold it until you are done.

so doodad you did get a mustang? Because i know you seemed to be debating it....but anyways i have an 06 gt stick and I have pulled off some nasty burnouts, so yes it is very very capable of smoking them tires.

doodad

oh yeah, l did get 06 gt premium stick.. l posted here under ' here is my new ride 2006 mustang GT premium' l really cant do burnouts and l have no idea why.. l believe it is computer.
