On the way to Lexfest in Atlanta (great event) we stopped for fuel and refreshments. So I did a quick burnout...
A local Georgia Police Cruiser came by just in time to see the smoke, but could not identify the perp.

Very brave of you there Billy. If I had my old tires, I could have attempted a doughnut but I already got my new non-runflats already and kind of hesitant to burn them and deal w/ the uneven tread later on.

Nice burnout. You didn't do a full circle?
Did you have VSC on or off?

VSC was off. Not a full circle. New tires soon, so it did not hurt to burn them up a little.

No, that is how you blow up the transmission and bust the ring and pinion the first time. That is called a neautral drop. Very bad idea. What Billy did is easier on the drivetrain.

I would rather not say how to actually do it in case someone decides to do this the first time ,loses it, goes head on into someone else.

It's impossible to do it with the VSC on; is it's job to prevent it .

Simplest and safest (for the car) way to break rear tire(s) loose an RWD car is to just punch the gas with your steering wheel locked to either side, but do it in a safe place man, with plenty of room around. And DON'T brake and accelerate at the same time (brake torque); you also f*** up your tranny that way. I know that's how magazines get their best 0-60 times, but it's not their car. Later.
