So your car will only make one complete donut? Soin other words youget one good donut and then end up doing a burn out? Try just letting it coast really slow, crank the wheel all the way to one side and slam on the gas.. should be able to get multiple donuts in like that. You don't really need to do the wholecrazy steering thing, you can but ya know.. thats if you're really into sliding the rear end of your car all over the place once you get some momentum built up.

I don't know what's wrong with your car then.... I had the same exact car

this is a session... I held the brake down and got the RPM's up there before I took off then went right into WOT and it blew around like a pig in mud

I came out of it because I wanted to, I have done 3 right in a row before

yeah if you go into a burnout for too long your power steering will leave too

I had to sit in the parking lot and pump the brakes untill it returned

i didn't think about it until now but i'm sure you guys would have figured that out by now if it was the problem. my car did crazydonuts when i had a six banger. i haven't tried with the 5.0l yet though. mustang ii's are different though, their rear-ends aspire to be the front

You have to have some traction to keep the car spinning, don't hold the gas down as far next time.
