Try to hold the brake....mash the throttle, just to break 'em loose, and then quickily ease out on the brake, but just enough to hold the front wheels.

I can burn out no problem....even when stock with 20's. Of course all my power goes to one tire.

i've done it with a few newer one's. it's not very difficult, but adding a stall converter to it will fix that for sure.

as for the subaru's, i have a video clip of one doing a burnout. talk about hard on the power transfer.....

I had no problem in my '02 4.8 and definitely no problem now. The first couple of time I stunk at it, but kept at it and now can do a pretty good one. Find a water puddle or wet street if needed. It will do it.

My starts SLOW then after the RPM's get up it really lights them up. I have to bring it to 2000 RPM befor anthing impresive happens. I blame it on a poor torque curve.
