You talking a powerbrake? You actually start with your foot on the brake and the motor will overpower the rears, while the fronts stay locked. Not very good for your clutch or your brakes however.

In my old isuzu rodeo (it was an AT) I just stepped on the brakes and gave it 100% throttle and one of the rear wheels would do a burn out, open diff

Standing Burnouts is really a brake stand, only difficulty is clutching it. Your rear breaks will not last long to that. For those doing it for a true purpose, they use a brake bias, to ensure that only the front breaks go on.

If you have enough power, you shouldn't go to far without the brakes and should get a decent burnout.

Middle of the road is brake stand for a moment and get the wheels really spinning, then let off the brake and stay on the throttle once your tires haven't a chance of hooking up.

All of them are not recommended, and a smart buyer will look for rubber stuck to the fenderwells to check if you've been "actin' a fool".

You need a line lock to do a proper burnout. If you don't have one, you can apply light pressure on the brakes while you give rpms (heel/toe), but thats hard on the clutch, engine, brakes, etc.

holy cow...........I have owned many rwd cars. As well dragged most of them. Manuals and autos.

So to do the burn out or heat the tires. Rev it pop the clutch immediately jump the brake with enough force to hold the car steady while the rears smoke. Called side stepping, I do believe.

If you are doing a burn out on a sticky tire. You will need 60mph+ wheel speed to get the right amount of heat. Might need to start in second to get the wheel speed. Roll out and stage and GO! No dry hops, those are noob and every hit on the tires after heating them takes bite away from it.

Have fun RWD is a blast.

Also, alot of smokey burnouts on slicks in a waterbox dont start in 1st gear.

Turn the wheel to lock and floor it to do dounuts.. Less braking is necessary because the turned tires provide forward movement resistance.

I don't understand why you would press the brake down... Does that not also brake the REAR wheels??

Brakes are proportionate. The front getting more pressure/clamping force. Allowing the rears to still be under a light enough force to spin. If you crowd the brake it can pull it down or cars with TQ will simply over come the force and spin anyway.
