just use the gas and no brakes, if you let the brake out after you start going around you should be fine.

are both wheels spinning? A friend of mine has a camaro that doesn't like to do donuts in a certain direction because he doesn't haveposi-trac.
nope, our cars do one tire fires
sorry to be off topic, but your saying all 99-04 GTs dont have an LSD? wow, thats crazy. Even the V6 camaros with the Y87 package had an LSD and they had 60 less HP than the GTs.

Try coasting really slow (no more than 5 mph), crank the wheel to the left and hit the gas. It should do a pretty good donut.

Too much gas....I can do donuts with ~1500rpm and it just keeps floating around...if I lose momentum I just let off the gas a little and flutter the pedal a few times....
