Default So... yeah. GS350 Burnout? Sure...

How many videos have you seen of a GS350 burning out? Not too many...

Done on a closed track under supervision... lol

VSC on... driver (not me) left it on, left tracks on both sides but not as much smoke. He said the limit was kicking in at 3k. The 1st burnout (not recorded) he did left so much smoke but only one tire was gripping or left tracks anyways. I didn't believe a GS350 could do it. lol, fun times.

Sorry about the video quality, it was a last minute idea. Couldn't figure out how to set the white balance... therefore the nasty yellow/orange instead of white. I usually do a little bit of editing but I got lazy and the yellow/orange kills it.

Enjoy!

BTW, this isn't my car.

If you turn off the vsc it will burn out more than that.

Somehow it doesn't seem as cool seeing a GS burn-out as seeing some other car ot it. The growl is missing. No muscle.

Why would anyone try to do a burnout with the VDC on????? Seems like it kind of goes aginst the goal of breaking traction. I have done things in G35 loaner cars that would make this burnout look more like unwanted wheel spin than a real burnout . I did a burnout once that was so intense that I couldnt see through the front wndshield. When I got home to pick up my wife she couldnt even get into the car because the smell of the rubber in the interior. LOL. I miss the low end grunt of the G. Thanks for sharing man. I still think it was cool to see someone try to push a lexus
