Default Can 4.7L do a decent burn out?

My 5.9 R/T could easily smoke the tires. The 4.7L engine I have in my 08 doesn't feel or sound as brutish. I don't want to push it yet(just got the truck) so has anyone tried a burn out?

i think our 08's might have some different torque management on the start out than the previous years, but i only had mine for about an hour before i attempted a burnout, wouldnt do it, then i tried dirt, still nothing, got it home to realize that mine is an AWD. has one hell of a launch though...

YA YA, never knew dodge still had that option, and the placement of the FWD **** sucks and you cant see the writing on it unless you stand on your head.

I've only tried once with no luck. So far my only burnout has been a headlight.
