Even with some water to keep things slick under all four tires, the car simply won't budge. Strap it to a truck for some four-wheel-drive burnout action. This woman drove six hours to, frankly, abuse her personal GT-R, but hey, it's Hoonigan after all. We'd expect nothing less from an organization where Ken Block is colloquially called the "Hoonigan in chief. Unfortunately or maybe not so unfortunately?
However, a little more water to the rear wheels and the tires start smoking away like the GT-R has never heard of an AWD system in its life. Sign up to get the latest performance and luxury automotive news, delivered to your inbox daily!

To perform a burnout, you need a car with lots of horsepower. Regarding transmissions, it is easiest to do a burnout in a manual transmission car but you can also do burnouts in an automatic transmission car.
For the best effect, street tires are also desirable, which have smoother surfaces that'll put out more smoke. Don't buy a Ford Mustang to do a burnout because the only rubber you'll burn is an engine belt. Ideally, you would have a Holden Commodore or a Ford Falcon. Put the car in first gear.
Depress the clutch fully and start revving the engine. You shouldn't start moving, as long as you've got the clutch all the way in. Get your RPMs up so the tires will be hot when you let them loose.
Lock the handbrake if the car is Front Wheel Drive. After you pop the clutch, your tires will be spinning very fast, so you can either pop it to speed off and perform a peel-out, or you can keep the hand brake or parking brake locked to spin your tires and create smoke, performing a burnout.
Release the clutch. When you release the clutch fully, the tires should start spinning very quickly, resulting in the burnout smoke. To stop the burnout ease off the accelerator and free the brake. If the car is an automatic, put the transmission into D, hold the footbrake down as firmly as possible, build up the revs of the car by pushing the throttle pedal. When ready, release the footbrake and the car should wheelspin. Method 2.
Try a peel-out. A peel-out is the nicer cousin of the burnout and happens when the driver spins the wheels on the road before moving. Peel-Outs are far easier and less dangerous to your car than a burnout, and even happen accidentally at stoplights when you jump on the gas too hard.
Rev the engine high and release the clutch abruptly to peel-out. Do a donut. A donut is a circular burnout. To do a donut, find a large open area with no other cars, lampposts, or other things you can hit. It is easy to lose control of a car with a donut. Begin driving in slow circles and then hit the gas hard so that the rear tires begin to lose traction, holding the wheel in the same position to perform the spinning donut.
Try a rollback burnout. A rollback is just like a burnout but performed on a hill. They are a good way to get burnout in an underpowered car as the backward movement helps with traction after the burn.
Find a hill and put the car in first gear. Depress the clutch. Let the car roll backward down the hill slightly, then start giving the car plenty of gas. Finally, "pop" the clutch to jump into first and take off.
Use a line locker. A line locker is a device that modifies a car so the brake pedal only engages the front brakes. A line lock is a solenoid fancy name for a switch that gives you some extra buttons in the driver's seat to control your brakes. To do a burn out with a line locker installed: [8] X Research source To use a line locker, step on the brakes and push the line lock button. When you release the brake pedal, you'll leave your front brakes on but disengaging your back brakes, leaving those wheels free to spin, burn and make smoke.
Release the line lock button to release the front brakes and move forward. Like burnouts, this device is almost always illegal and is quite dangerous. Yes, if done for too long your car can overheat. The transmission and clutch can overheat.
If you have an automatic and you're holding the brake for too long, it will wear out. And those 60,mile tires you spent so much on: for every twenty seconds of tire burning, you've just worn them down 20, miles. Not Helpful 13 Helpful The best way to do it is the following: put the car into Drive, hold the foot brake, build the revs then release the foot brake. How much power the car has and the quality of the tires will determine how good the burnout is.
Thanks to this article, you won't have to spend thousands on tires to gain what his experience has taught him. Let's get to it Well, as you probably could guess, burnouts are kind of fun. They're useful for showing off, causing a scene, or just entertaining yourself. In drag racing, it's common to "dust off" the tires to remove rocks and debris to get the best grip possible. Competition tires are made from rubber compounds that perform better when warm.
As a result you'll see drag racers with slicks doing a significant burnout to make sure the tires warm up. You'll occasionally see drag racers go far past the lights in order to clean off the start of the track and lay down a good fresh layer of rubber on the road for additional grip. That the stunts and tricks described in this article should be performed by professionals in controlled environments. Do not attempt to duplicate, re-create, or perform the same or similar stunts and tricks at home, as personal injury or property damage may result.
The producer of this article is not responsible for any such injury or damage. The man hates burnouts. They are considered a nuisance by most people, including the law.
Unless done under controlled conditions at a competition area, it'd be safe to assume the neighbors, fellow drivers, and police will all not be real excited. It doesn't really matter if it's a private or public parking lot, be prepared to receive a ticket if the law disapproves of your fun. Burnouts are usually not dangerous, but their not exactly safe either. Theres a number of safety concerns with burnouts. If you're going to do doughnuts or rolling burnouts, make sure your buckled in and the doors are shut.
It's not particularly cool to fall out of the car as it spins wildly. Stuff shoots out the back of the car. Rocks, debris, and parts of the tire are all going to be flying around. The wheels will be moving at high speed even if the car is sitting still. It's wise to make sure nothing is in front of the car in case it starts to grip or lurch forward.
Also, in the case of extreme mechanical failures, parts of the driveline may attempt to leave the vehicle at high speed. Rear wheel drive cars are generally the easiest to do burnouts in.
Cars and trucks with rear wheel drive tend to have pretty strong drivetrains and are generally the most fun to do burnouts in. Front wheel drive cars tend to be economy vehicles with less horsepower and cheaper parts. Not to mention they the engine weight is over the drive wheels. This combination makes them less desirable burnout vehicles.
All wheel drive cars need to be very powerful to do burnouts, and when they do it's pretty much impossible to do a standing burnout. Manual transmissions let you break the tire's traction easily. Revving to a high rpm and popping the clutch will apply a lot of torque quickly, which is great for burnouts.
Automatics are very different because you cannot pop the clutch. You'll need the right combination of weight, power, and grip to accomplish a burnout with an auto. Especially with any car that's not rear wheel drive.
