I know this may be a dumb question, but how do you smoke your tires/burnout?? I have a 03 Cav and I saw one of my buddies (he drives a Firebird) sit a the stop light & just smoke his back tires. My Eco is pretty much stock except for a AEM c.a.i. and a custom cat back system. Do I even have enough horsepower to do that....???
you do, but keep in mind his main brakes are on the front, the ones that do the most...
his drive wheels are on the rear...
pull your ebrake and rev it up and dump the clutch....
although this does put a crapload of stress on your axles as well as tears up tires, wouldnt be something i do often.
Raise your e-brake lever all the way up and drop the clutch at 4-5k rpm. I think that should do it.
and to warn u...you won't stay in one place...you'll drag a few feet...well at least with mine
^^Still the e-brake trick. It's not good for your drivetrain, though.

And powerbrake/torque brake ....theres so many names. Raise the e brake....Then hold down the brake hard....bring up the rpms with the gas...then when it starts to get high and feels liek the brakes cant hold.....release the brake and hold down the gas. Make sure u release the e brake once u really start dragging or u could flat spot your tires. It does less damage in the rain and is also easier.
PS. Dont let the 5-0 Catch ya.
you gotta dump the clutch at 5k rpms and THEN yank the ebrake

just put tire wet all over your tires and floor it
traction > burnout.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
be prepared for wheel hop... when you burn out, the entire car will shake and rattle like a mofo.... like BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. also, youll probably start bouncing off the rev limiter once the tires are freely spinning.
pop that cluth
i can burn out nasty with a stock cavalier without even usin an e brake
but if your car is automatic don't even waste time trying to burn out
it'll look stupid
...heheheh, let it roll backwards a bit, hold the clutch, rev to 5k, dump the clutch. No more wheel hop.
...don't hate!.. respect people that have talent, even if it is in something you don't like or understand.
ive had my 03 ls smoke all the way through 2nd into third then catch and take off to the right...god damn tork steer from hell
just find a stoplight with a nice steep hill. works pretty well if you roll ackward about 5 mph and then floor it

find a cross walk with fairly new paint. get both tires on it and pull the e-brake. the paint is really slipperly. bassically ANY car can do it then. or find the painted lines at a stop sign or something. the newer the paint the easier it is to spin the tires. then you don't have to worry about any wheel hop. do that when its wet and you'll get third gear rubber no problem. or find a road with shinny spots on them. you spin really easy there to. i have a 96 2.2 auto, totally stock and you couldn't see my car. i had second gear no problem. and it was posi. but i wouldn't recomend doing any of that a lot cause i sat there for a good hour cleaning rubber out of my wheel wels. i only held it for 40 or so seconds cause the smoke started coming in my car and the engine started to bog. but th basic trick is e-brake. if its a manual, dump the clutch and like 4 grand and if its an auto, power brake hard core. hold your foot on the brake as hard as you can and floor it. wait a second for the engine to get to the tc's max stall and let off the brake.
this seems like a newb question to me....seriously, if you cant mash the go pedal and make your tires go ert, you prob shouldnt be driving.

I am just wondering, I have a manual Cavy, do I have to use the ebrake to do a durnout, or could I just rev it up to like 4 or 5 grand and drop the clutch?? I would really like to be able to do it without using the e-brake.

Why dont you just try it
You'll end up gaining traction at some point and take off, but it will work for a few seconds anyway.
No matter how you slice it, burnouts are very hard on the car, so keep it to a minimum
I also have a question for the ebrake method. Do you pull the ebrake all the way FIRST. Then rev the engine and drop the clutch??
i just mash the gas pedal as far as i can get it !
I rev to 2k rpm dump the clutch, and mash the gas. spins through 2nd and chirps in 3rd only if I have less then a half tank of gas. I am on stock 14's right now.
I dont burnout, no point anymore. I cant wait too see what I can do when I get my car back from the shop.
