Not when the clutch has about 9 inches of movement, and the brake pedal, about 3...

It won't work...

ORIGINAL: Night_Runner

****, i cant get my truck to do that unless its wet. now that my tires are bald, i can get a very short burnout. i doubt ill get anything when the new tires get put on
Thats why I was asking if it was a manual. I've never been able to get my tires to spin like that for more than 4-5 seconds, even wet,before they grab. When my younger bro still had his '98 stang gt I could do it all day long with a manual and goosing the clutch.

It should be easierto do in the 05-07 models overall (and especially with an automatic) simply because of the rear drum brakes compared to discs on the previous model.

With that said, itIS possible to do a standing burnout with a 6 speed. Granted, I'm sure it's easier since my tires are almost bald, but I digress. [:'(]It just takes some tricky footworkwhile using yourheel onthe brake pedal while you give it throttle with the front of your right foot as yourelease the clutch with your left.

It's basically likedoing a linelock with a stick shift.

Have you tried this on a 6spd?

Is yours a 6spd, cuz I know I've tried it MANY different ways, and nothing works...

Maybe I need like a size 22 shoe to reach the clutch and brake at the same time...

Cuz it just doesn't work for me... I like the drop clutch at 4k and just smoke em that way.

When I get ready to buy new tires I'm going to take my video cam out with me and smoke them until there's nothing left of them

When I lived in Indy, the state of Indiana didn't change their clocks (they do now). There were certain northern and southern fringe areas of the state that did though. Up north by Chicago and down south by Louisville thought it better for business interests if they were on the same time as those metro areas, even though they were across state lines.

I had heard a lot when I was there that Arizona was the same way. Certain counties on the fringe areas decided that they wanted to, and changed with the surrounding states. I dunno...
