You mean like a brake torque? Just hold down the pedal enough to hold only the front brakes.

yeah just push the brake pedal to the floor then ease into the gas until the rear end breaks loose then give a little more gas to ease it alang.

HAHAHA! That's hilarious...

I found the best way with my truck, is push the brake pedal alllllllllllllllllll the way to the floor, then slowly step on the gas pedal until the engine revv's up to about 3000rpm, it wont revv any higher than that if it's not moving, then you can VERY slowly start to let off the brake pedal... Little bit at a time, until you feel the rear wheels start to spin... Let the brake off a tiny bit more, and they're going to spin fast as hell and give you an awesome smoke show.

Hard on the truck, but doing it once in a while isn't going to drasticly affect you.

A burnout?

It's easier on the whole system if you start to roll a little then apply the brakes while accellerating. She'll light up like a Christmas tree!!

Not to bad in the wet or on the snow/ice, but on the hot drive pavement, you are just throwing money out the window.

You'll cut back on the burnouts when you have to buy a pair of new tires!

I have never done them in any of my vehicles either, I was just letting that guy in on how to do one. I did when I was 16 get a good power brake going in a 1986 toyota 4 banger 5 speed. My friends were all amazed i could do it in a manual because none of them could haha.
