Can N E 1 here do this? Just wondering. I think my car is so sick in the torque aspect that it won't do it. That, or my brakes just suck that bad. When I try it, the car just shutters back and forth and almost dies. What gives?

 

I am not sure what you mean? As in trying to do a break stand?

 

How high are you revving the engine to?

 

get a line lock for the front..

 

i could do a brakestand in just about anything including my BLAZER!



rev it to 8k rpm and dump the clutch. then mash the brake pedal and gas pedal........lots of smoke will occur

I've done a breakstand in my B2600i.. I have pics somewhere I think.. and I have done is in a rental V6 mustang (automatic)

 

You're right, I give the engine 8K...and lots of smoke will occur. Only problem is that it's the engine that's smokin'. The wheels are not spinning. I usually try it @ 6K, though. Shouldn't it still do it? My Ranger will do it like it's nothing. It'll spin until the tires fly off. So ya'll call it a breakstand. In the southeast, we call it powerbraking. And a line-lock should not be necessary.

 

I live in the southeast, and I've never heard of powerbraking . Or brakestanding, for that matter.



I've just heard it called a "burnout." Is that so wrong?

 

Dump the clutch so as it will break the tires loose and IMMEDIATELY jump on the brakes enough to stop the car but not so much as it feels like its putting a big strain on the car. This is how I've done brakestands in every manual tranny equipped car I've owned.

Oh, and make sure you aren't clutchstanding instead!

 

No, no do a clutchstand, and then take pictures when you take the slutch off and show us all
