As an update, I did an awesome burnoutlast night on the way home. I guess it just takes a little practice. I have been practicing once or twice a night, and i think I almost have it.

on a manual car are you revving up the car then letting the clutch out ,thenslamming the brake or gentling hitting the brake, while giving it gas?

On a related note, last night on a deserted dry 2-lane, I pulled out in the 5-speed coupe and got on it hard for the first time since the 4.10's/LSD. When I made the 1-2 shift, I actually spun 'em enough to engage the traction control system! I've done that before in V8's, but never in my 4.0L - WOW!

Can't wait to hit the track [sm=gears.gif]

Ok, maybe a dumb question, but with the 4 wheel disc brakes, are you just applying enough power to break the hold of the rear 2? Is that justkilling the rear brakes?

Thats correct. In fact, I pump my breaks when I stage, to help lock the front brakes. Then give it the gas to do the burn out. Problem with that is like you said, you kill your rear brakes. The best way to deal with that is a set of line locks, which will disable the rear brakes. Which reminds me that I need a set of those. LOL.

Hi Guys!

Looks like spring is coming! Snow is melting (the 24" in the front yard is now about 6") and the sand is everywhere.

Coming off our shortcut last night, I had to make a left turn onto the main road. After coming down the steep hill in 2nd, I dropped it in first and came to a stop.

Some dude in a jacked up 4x4 gave me the wave in front of him and I poked the pedal.

Being in some sand, the back end broke loose but we still surged forward. Turning left I gave it more gas and swung the back end out. Still spinning, I shifted up to 2nd and gave it more gas. Tires were still spinning all the way till I shifted into 3rd.

Sounded really sweet!

I had to laugh when I looked in the rearview mirror because the guy in the 4x4 was still sitting on the main road watching!

I love my V6.

25MPG and still fun to drive!

PS: This was BEFORE my T-LOC was installed! Can't do 200+ ft rippers anymore...

If you have enough power to break the tires lose without power braking u can just barely hold down the brake so you dont idle forward and slam down the gas. Thats what I do in my truck in the rain but in the Mustang I just rev it up and pop the clutch.

ive done burnouts with my dubs, did u take off the traction button? u could also put it in first and see what happens, u might just have too much power under the hood or something i dunno
