How do you smoke your tires and stay in the same place?

I watch vids of you guys lighting up the rear tires, but you are not moving an inch forward.

How do you do that?

You keep your foot on the brake, or you install a linelock. Both ways work, the linelock is just a lot more efficient since you don't have the power of the engine overriding your rear brakes. I linelock locks your front brakes only, allowing your rear wheels to spin without the rear brakes on. See? :)

Mike, be sure to do the standing wheel spin thing often.

It's a sure way to show people that you are really smart.

It's good for the brakes, tires and clutch. Everyone will be impressed at your car handling ability and judgement.

Oh, I forgot,
You are going to need a big wing on the back,

And some real baggy pants, Oh, and wear your ball cap crooked,

and have an amp and speakers that are louder than WW2.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Don't forget 20 NAAAWWWZ Stickers, 20" spinner rims, an exhaust big enough for homeless people to sleep in...

Man, it's just a BurnOut... What's wrong with that? He won't make one everytime he waits on a redlight...

I saw how to do it on a movie. run a chain from you rear control arm to any immobile object (tree, telephone pole) Then just gun it! I have extra control arms just for doing burnouts.

If you had studded tires it would probably do burnouts with sparks at night.

By the way, I thought that burnouts were only impressive for cars that one wouldn't expect to be doing them.

A Focus doing a big burnout will make some kids jump and dance.
Wouldn't everyone assume that a Viper's problem would be in not doing a burnout?

Line lock burnouts are always a crowd pleaser. Kids love to see it, and I enjoy watching kids get such a kick out of the car. I installed line lock on my car a while ago and with all the fun I still haven't wasted a set of tires. At the local "cruise night" they have burn out contests regularly and people are amazed to see a Viper participate.

Come on, its only a little tire smoke. These cars are for fun, enjoy!

Viper Burn out rocks !! Joe, what are you 90 ??

***.. You are not a ricer, because you do a burn out in your viper. I agree with a some of what you posted in the past, but now your just being ***. Maybe you need to trade in your viper and get a mini van.

And if you do it "accidentally" with a granddaughter in the Viper, the next time you take her for a ride, she'll say, "Grandma, do that vroom-vroom thing again..."

Uhhhh, Jon, you don't know about Joe's other car? A minivan might be an upgrade from an Aztec. :laugh:

That's right Lee, keep it going. There's probably someone out there somewhere who doesn't know that my WIFE has an Aztec.
Shout it from the rooftops... Get a full page ad in the paper....
But this time you have really gone too far. The Aztec may be, shall we say, unusual in appearance but it does have 4wd and all independent suspension. It has a brutally powerful V6.

Any minivan that found himself in the other lane, lined up against the Aztec, would be shaking in his shoes when the lights stared coming down.
Just bring your minivan down to MIR next time and we will see who's top dog.
That's not to say that the Aztec is in any way a dog.

"A minivan might be an upgrade from an Aztec"

Shame on you. ;-)

Thanks guys I too was wondering how that happened. I knew there was a trick to the smoking tires thing and once the rain stops I am going to move to the street.
I always thought it was done with grease rubbed on the tires first, good thing to no.

Simple,

Carb cleaner sprayed all over the tires, and then put a light to them.

This will create lots of smoke, and it will work on all 4 tires almost like all wheel drive. :2tu:

Roll 'em in Zig-Zags, inhale slowly and consistently, while keeping the lighter touching the rubber, and once lit, should last for hours.

Line Lock! works great. Wish I could post the video of the burnout I did last year.

Andrew....I can't find a Line Lock that works with ABS(ordered one from Hurst but they say do not use it with ABS)...any idea who carries one that will work with ABS cars?

Thanks in advance...

First, disengage your brain.

Next, do whatever is needed to cause the rears to burn.

Finally, make a note in your log book,
"Duhh, Viper seems to have enough power to burn rubber".

Note,
Make sure to re-engage brain prior to any adult activity.
