I don't mean in any way to abuse my car, I didn't think that a simple drop clutch, and lighting up the tires would do that much damage, as opposed to doing 1/4mile runs using slip clutch technique.
I just thought that since my rear tires are totally bald, I might as well try to do a burn out at least *once* in my life. This is the first *real* sports car I have owned, all my past cars were front wheel drive imports, with high HP but NO torque.
anyway, I will forget about doing a burn out. I will just down load videos of other guys doing it, and just knowing the fact that my car can do the same thing is good enough for me! hehe..later
I dont know about anybody elses, But mine with 20k miles, 90% of those miles are either burnouts, full throddle, or a 2nd gear Fish tailin,
I asnt hurt anything on my car other then replacing tires at 18k miles, and only the rear, Its worth every penny two...
the Z06 is a hard car to do a burnout because weight distribution and the brakes are really good, so power braking usually is a hard because it stops the wheels from spinning...
so this is what to do, drop the clutch and when and only when you get a good spinning, hit the brakes so your nose dipps and the weight is shifted away from the rears, then It will be endless
the most thing a burnout can do is if you hold it for too long, but nobody wants that anyway because all that smoke, I say do various burnouts and some donuts and some fishtails on the side, It aint going to hurt a much, a longer powerbrake burnout might overheat the motor because there wont be enough air to the motor, and the motor wasnt built to rev for a LOOOOOONG time in one spot, but it WAS built for everything else :coo:
be safe and make sure you have fun doing it
