You have way too much restraint to not have burnt tires in over 35 years! I used to burn mine off (all 8 cyl cars since I was 17, now 33), but since getting the GTO I burn them maybe once in a blue moon. Enough $ donated to the police dept and you eventually learn...Dad's 05 GTO said:Let me get this straight...you have a brand new GTO and you want to know how to burn out, smoke the tires, leave long black marks down the road etc., right? I can't tell you how to do that but I am waiting to hear all the responses you get so I might be able to see why anyone wants to do this. I've had everything from an 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 to my current 05 GTO and have never felt the need to melt the rubber of my tires.
Throw a little water down. Place rear tires in. Rev up to around 4000 RPMs. Dump the clutch. Stay on the gas -- but move your left foot over to the brake and lightly apply. Don't over rev as you'll go into wheel hop. Don't over brake as it will cause the rear of the car to slide out.Bagpiper said:Hello everyone.

Myth. Some people believe it creates whiter smoke -- as if your tires were some kind of laundry or something. But no difference at all. In fact, street tires don't benefit from burnouts in any way -- as their compounds are designed to resist heat. Drag tires, on the other hand, have compounds that are activated by heat to make them stickier.MJGTOWISH said:I Don't know if this is true but does bleach make a better burnout?

My advice would be to break her in properly. That doesn't mean you have to baby it, but as you break it in you will get the feel for how & when to break 'em loose. After you get a few grand on her, you'll be able to do whatever you please with those rear tires :rofl:Bagpiper said:Hello everyone.

Driving an LS6 or a GTO; both being powerful do very well to show themselves off. I have never felt the need to abuse them to show me off. Besides after the smoke clears and the gas is gone all you have left is .02 cents. I wasn't being sarcastic, I jsut don't get why someone buys a brand new car and immediately wants to light up the tires. Just my thoughts....HoldenGTO said:I sure hope so. I don't know how anyone could own an LS6 Chevelle or a GTO and NOT smoke the tires. Why have the power if you aren't going to show it off? My .02 cents.
You seem pretty passionate about this and I respect that. There's a lot of reasons why people do it. It's just up to that person to be responsible for the consequences. You either get a ticket, you break something, or you have to buy new tires....Dad's 05 GTO said:Driving an LS6 or a GTO; both being powerful do very well to show themselves off.

UM....Because you can. Like the saying goes, Smoke'em if you got'em. Or something like that.Dad's 05 GTO said:Driving an LS6 or a GTO; both being powerful do very well to show themselves off.
