How do u smoke the tires in a manual trans??
I got a GT mustang and its a 5 speed stick and ive always wanted to know how to smoke my tires, i can do it in a
automatic but i have no clue how to do it in a stick, wanna give me some tips??
Bring the RPMs up while you hold in the clutch. Let the clutch out aggressively, but DO NOT pop the clutch until you've done it more than just a couple of times. You can serious damage your transmission, clutch, or drivetrain by doing this improperly.
Remember to have some fun ... that's what it's all about!
rev ur engine up to about 6000 and hold the e brake and let go of your clutch and keep on the gass she'll go haha
With your car you've got a pretty solid drivetrain. Get it up to about 4 grand, pop the clutch and then imediately take your left foot and hold the brake. When you pop the clutch you'll also need to give it some more throttle to maintain your RPMs. DO NOT just slam the brake to the floor, you'll roast your rear brakes, just enough to keep you from moving foward. Try it a couple times in a empty parking lot. I don't know where the first guy is getting his information but do not use the E-brake. That only works on front wheel drive. Good luck!
If you get it right it should look like this one I did.
Are you serious? Maybe I can understand if you have traction control but that thing has enough power and a
good enough transmission to do some serious SMOKE SHOWS. just punch the throttle a split second before you
let off the clutch that is a good way to SMOKE 'EM and not break anything. Then while she has not moved too
far press in on the brakes. This is how you probably LAID A PATCH on your auto (known to others as a brake
stand). Also do not listen to the kid that said pull up on your e-brake that is a way to bust your e-brake. Just
do exactly what you do when driving it normally but more aggressively and she should LIGHT 'EM UP. Just be
careful no cops are around they do not take to kindly to you BOILIN' EM right in plain sight and ROLE BACKS
(when you let your car role backwards down the hill and DUMP THE CLUTCH) are the best because then you do
not have to sacrifice your rear brakes to BURN SOME RUBBER. By the way use one of the previously used terms
to refer to your execution because "smoking your tires" sounds SOOOOO ridiculous. Just call it what it is
SHREDDING YOUR TIRES. BURN OUT, SPIN 'EM, RUIN SOME GOOD TIRES.
... ... i mean really how the hell did this get asked on a public forum... i mean really... i send enough smoke into the air without any brakes but i guess if u really really wanna turn perfectally good (and probabally 800-1200 dollar a set tires) get ur revs up, pop the clutch... get the tires goin and then get your foot onto the brakes... but just enough too keep you from moving or ur gonna need brakes with ur new set of tires in 30 or so seconds... also ur gonna end up hurtin that drivetrain eventually so keep it to smoke off the line if u wanna show off... any idiot can do a brake stand / smoke show... but get them spinnin off the line all the way into 3rd if u can make it happen and ill give u more props... u can burnout with what 120hp..??? 120ftlbs??? u need raw power to spinn them through the gears on ur launch even if it isnt as fast as hooking up properly...
