how bad is it for your car...
I have a 250 and i do it occasionally to break rubber, but only to about 3k RPM

 

isnt brake boosting only for spooling up your turbo so that there is no lag?!?

im confused.

 

lol yea it is.

u mean brake TORQUEing/brake Standing?

yes its bad for your car...overheats the tranny fluid.

 

how long does it take to overheat the tranny fliud?

 

a quickie like 5 seconds wont harm it as much but a standstill will def bake and bake the tranny oil.

 

o yeah i just rev it too like 2500 3000 rpm real quick then let go... like hardly 3 seconds

 

im interested to know what is 250 that ur driving is turbo'd....?

 

lol u mention the fluid but not everything else inside the trans thats at a stand still while its recieving all that power, steels, clutch plates, sun gears, output input shaft, torque converter, <--- at least i think those are at a stand still. but definately the driveshaft isn't spinning but its recieveing power so its being twisted.

anyway... i've done this alot, along with burnouts and the tranny on the is350 is pretty strong haha. i think the differential is the weakest link

 

lol @ title of this thread.

Reminds me of my DSM days :P

 

haha @ the title!!!

and yes, it will hurt your car if you do it ever so often. but if/when stuff breaks, dont expect much sympathy from me or a lot of other members for your actions

 

Consider getting a 350, makes brake stands unnecessary.

 

I have done 3 or 4 burnouts in a row to heat the tires up Ill stay on the brakes up until just before I redline then ride the burnout about 30 feet and I have never had a problem and take my word for it Ive done it quite a lot I used to race 2-3 times a week

 

I was like "sweet a boosted is250" then I realized, you don't know what brake boosting is....

 

LOL

 

By not knowing you aren't missing anything.

This is leading to another thread where the conclusion will be, who cares.
