Default Burning rubber..

I can't seem to rip burnouts in my new IS250?

Has anyone done one? How did you do it?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I would not do them often but sometimes i wouldnt mind letting it rip

Not sure it’s possible to burn rubber with the 250. Turn traction control off and slam the gas peddle down after you wet the tires.

So, I owned a G35x and G37x. Burned without trying.
My IS300 Fsport is a different vehicle. Fit and finish, handling.
Not much for burning rubber.

In all seriousness, lack of LSD and power will mean it's going to be nigh-impossible. Maybe you could spin the tires for a bit in the snow?

Turn off traction control. Put it neutral with the gas pedal on the floor and then quickly drop it to the lowest Drive gear.
