hey everyone!
i got a 96 3.8 Camaro and it want burn out lol!! laughs of pain...
when i first got it, it was misfiring like crazy but i got it fixed and it was all fine and i had a hole put in the cat too make it louder and it did, it also made the petals harder to push but im wondering why want it burn out???
or am i doing it wrong?
put it 1st gear or overdrive and hold the brake and smash the gas to floor and hold then take off??

oh man its so embarrassing...
plz help...

 

Is the check engine light on?

 

my moms 98 3800 couldnt do a burnout for anything. it was an a4. my friends 99 did! still auto. no idea if dif gears in the years though.

still confuses me to this day

 

no the check engine light isnt on...
my car is so sometiming...
sometimes it has power and sometimes it doesnt..
i just cant wait to get another catalytic converter..
does anyone have one laying around they would like to donate?

 

Soapy water works wonders on the rear tires...

 

oh ya and fish tail out of control which has happend 2wice in the rain

and a few times due to me showing out!!

 

Chances are you have not rode in many cars, my 94 z28 would not do a "burn out" by smashing the gas, let alone a 3800 unless you had garbage tires on it, or it was raining. If you are judging power by the burn out it can do, your doing it all wrong.
I have no idea if you have a manuel, or an auto but if you want to do a burn out hold the brake and floor it, do not let off the brake. If you do a burn out for to long things will get quite hot so be careful.

Also, I suggest you not play around so much that you nearly wreck.

 

My theory is if you have to ask these sort of things you probly shouldnt be doing them.

 

i love these threads just how hard are you holding the brake ?

 

i wanna be able to burn out, its a freakin camaro its suppose to do these things whether its a v6 or v8 its suppose to burn out...

i hold the brakes all the way down *** possible and same with the gas..and i get nothing lol..even my 3.1v6 93 Cavalier z24 could burn out...

 

you dont hold the brake down all the way. just experiment, the front should be able to hold with little effort, the little 3.8 cant over come the rear brakes. what size tires are in the rear ?

 

First, I agree with statement if you dont know how to do burnout maybe you should't try. Second, the rash of incorrect spelling and horrid grammer make your post painful to read. Lastly,since you only have the v6 how about a line lock kit. That should make it nice and easy for you to do your wonderful burnout. If you dont want to spend any money how about just try a neutral drop. Don't worry if you don't know what either of those are as I am sure someone with more time than me can explain them to you. The neutral drop was just a joke by the way. Oh one last thing. Please tell me this is a fake post,I really didn't think there was someone out there dumb enough to make a hole in their exhaust so it would sound louder. If that is true, go buy a honda with a fart can.

 

what do you think a cutout is?

 

This thread has outlived its usefullness. Sort of hard to believe right from the beginning.
