if i need to do a burnout what is the best way without killing my tq converter/tranny? or can i just roll around the waterbox and go?

1st ...dont do a water box burnout becuase water ets on the fenderwells and then drips on the wheels after the burnout causing you to get no traction

2.......i dont have auto but iam more then sure that it will be very hard to do a burnout with drags i would just get up and go .

ok sweet, maybe i will just roll around the box and stop and then gun it to see if they will even spin, if not, im golden. but if they do, then they will be somewhat warmed and ready either way.

Not doing a burnout with ET streets is not going to really provide you with the additional grip you bought those tires for.

Auto burnouts are easy. Turn off all traction control, Manual mode 1st gear, put left foot on brake and hammer the gas with the other foot and just adjust the throttle to keep the car near redline for a bit. The power of the car will easily overcome the rear brakes.

I tried this tonight at the drag and it doesn't work. I tried to put foot on the brake and hammerdown just before the kickdown and it wouldn't go. Maybe if I put it all the way to the floor? I will try next time.

did you turn off traction control completely? Also, you were in M1 right?
