I even tried dropping the clutch and continue to give it gas without holding the brake pedal. I was sure that wasn't going to work, but after my first attempt, i figured i did it right the first time so i'd give it a shot without holding the brake pedal. Does anyone else have this problem??? I TURNED OFF traction control by the way, in case that was one of ur concerns. I know it would be easier if I either had a line-lock system to disengage the rear brakes so that my tires could spin easier, or even if i had rear drums since they wouldn't hold the rear tires to tightly like my rear disk brakes do. I'm planning on going to the drag strip sometime soon and I'm obviously going to have to master the burnout in order to warm my tires up. Hopefully someone will have some solid advice on this, it's such a heartache to not be able to spin my tires and show off the power of our great cars. Thanks to everyone who replys.

Put your right heel on the brake and your end of your foot on the gas and used your left foot for the clutch. works for me as far as a standing still burnout goes!

Guys have you tried this in your stock cars????

Wheelhop! HELLO!

I tried a few burnouts (not powerbraking just launching) when I had stock LCAs and I thought I was gonna break the 8.8 out from under my car This wheelhop is only exacerbated by water, at least in my experience-I still get it when it rains
