Default Burnout with a manual

So I have been watching all these burnout videos and i have been wondering how you do that with a manual transmission. Do you keep your foot on the brake after you let your clutch out? Let me know, Im ready to smoke em.:banana:

Takes a little practice but it's not hard. You want to keep a steady rev at around 4,000rpms and then drop the clutch really fast. As soon as you do that you need to stomp the brake with your clutch foot will still holding the gas down a good amount. Once you are on the brake they start spinning, let off the brake a little at a time until the car starts moving forward slowly. Then add a little more brake. The reason for the break thing is so you won't burn your rear ones up so bad. Mustangs use mainly the front brake with a little assistance from the rear so you want it to be just enough to keep you still and that's it.

aight...make sure it's in first

1. Turn traction control off!

2. Rev it to 2k - 4k rpms while your foot is holding the clutch down

3. switch from the clutch to the brake as fast as you can

4. adjust brake and gas pressure, so your brakeing just enough to hold the car still while your rear tires spin

5. hold untill desired smoke, let off brake and leave a smokey trail

if your foot is big enough you can use your right foot as brake and throttle then all you have to do is pop the clutch and your burnin the tires. dont push the brakes too hard or it will bog down.

Thats pretty much how I do it. You can control the car ALOT better during donuts or burnouts if you use your right foot to control both the brake and the gas.

1. Push in the clutch and brake. Rev to 4000rpm.

2. Take your right foot and hold it sideways. Your heel should be on the brake and your toes should be on the gas. Leave the clutch in.

3. This is the harder part......
Let off the clutch slowly as you use your toes to press in the gas and you keep your heel pressed down hard on the brake.

4. Your tires should be smoking right now.......
