Re: burn outs

I've got an auto V6, but mine is a 3.8L with a few minor mods. I can do burnouts without any brake. I left about a 10' mark down my road this afternoon.

Re: burn outs

A neutral slam, or neutral drop, will end up detroying your trans, and you will prolly destroy several rear trans mounts in the process.

If you must perform a bit of a smoke show, you'll wanna hit the brakes lightly, and then drop your right foot to the floor. When I first got my '85 2.8/700R4 car I used to do that all the time.

Re: burn outs

yeah neutral slams and hell on the transmission. a friend of mine has a 80 something mustang and likes to go street racing and some of his idiot friends told him to do neutral slams off the line when hes racing. i told him dont do it but he didnt listen and he won the race but when he went to park he couldnt get the car to go into reverse. he did a few burnouts and donuts and he hasnt had anymore trans problems since

Re: burn outs

Hold the break pedal in and slam the gas while in D
Rear brakes will let the tires spin while the fronts keep you in one place.
Make a big cloud and some black marks.

If you have enough TQ (or a high enough gear ratio) you can peel out while in gear.
With a firm tranny and enough TQ, you can chirp into 2nd and 3rd too

Either is fun
Don't expect tires to last long if you keep doing it though LOL

Re: burn outs

you have to use the brakes, hehe. I feel like keeping my brakes usefull for a lil longer . Anyway pretty cool, it's always fun to do burnouts on the way out of school. Why does only one side smoke/leave a mark? Is the one tire bald and the one side?

Non-POSI, Non-locker and Non-LSD (Limited Slip Differential) cars only pin one wheel;
It's the way the differential is designed.

Cars with POSI, lockers or LSD spin both tires.

Limited slip differentials use various mechanisms to allow normal differential action when going around turns. When a wheel slips, they allow more torque to be transferred to the non-slipping wheel.


Here's an article "How Differentials Work"
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential.htm
Page 7 talked about LSD/POSI, but the whole article is very informative and well written.

no, Z28s have LSD, and so do some V6s with Y87 package.

Re: burn outs

You can always buy an aftermarket LSD unit, they're not too horribly difficult to install.
That was one of the first mods I did on my 95.

Re: burn outs

How can you tell if a car (my car) has the Y87 package? I have almost every option on my car that I know of: power seats, power windows, power mirrors, 2nd gear start, t-tops, bose sound system, and probably more that I dont know of.
