Sorry, that was my misunderstanding AmericanICON.
Yes doing neutral drops is a no no if you want to keep driving your car. LOL

it is super easy to burn rubber if you have the ***** (and no brains) to do a neutral drop
NO NO NO... the computer controls the tranny... The computer will not put the car in gear unless it thinks the RPMs are at a reasonable level... (as petepete found out)

The reason people have trouble with burnouts in the automatic is the Torque Management System that prevents the car from making too much torque in first gear. Spend $400 to fix it right up!

NO... the computer will not put the car in gear! As petepete pointed out the RPMs will drop first.. then then computer will put the car in gear...

I have stock auto and I don't do neutral drops to burn rubber! It's so easy and I've done it twice. This is how I do it, first I go to an area where there are no cars or obstacles in front of me and behind me, then I put the car in "R"! Hit the gas and *bam* burn rubber! lol. Seriously though, why did they allow our cars to burn rubber going reverse and not going forward?

My auto tranny polishes my tires just fine with no N drop.
