How to properly do a burnout with the SS (auto)

Ok back when I was a kid I would just powerbrake with an automatic.
How would I go about doing a burnout now?
Obviously turn off the traction control...and?
Can I get a quick step by step tutorial please?
Thanks!

Buy a clutch equipped vehicle, or... ask Kp movn from the HTCC. She does them so well, we had to wait so they could start our drag race... she completely fogged the start line... and backed it up with a 12.6 pass at about 110 mph, bone stock...to my losing 12.7 at 113... stock m6 other than a CAI...then, but mine isnt quite stock anymore...

Hold down the T/C button for about 7 seconds or so until you shut off T/C & Stabilitrac. This will show up on the cluster. Drop it into M It will show "S" on you DIC lower left. Hit the throttle hard and crisp. You WILL burnout. If that doesn't help you then run your gas out. Fill up with 93 octane and do the fuse pull overnight then try again.

Oh yeah, do this at the start line of the dragstrip. NOT on the open roads

PS. If you were to ever attempt this in say some deserted parking lot and you wanna throw in some donuts. DO NOT CRANK THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY OVER. If you do, bye bye power steering pump.

Well I guess I was proved wrong. I'm 46 but don't understand the burn out fascination but by looking at the posts above there are plenty of 40+ that still need to do it. So rip it up, tear it up, buy new tires.
