AFTER FINDING A SUITABLE LOCATION....TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL....APPLY BRAKES TO HOLD CAR IN PLACE....NAIL THE GAS AND THE TIRES WILL BEGIN SPINNING...KEEP THE BRAKES HELD FOR A SMOKY BURNOUT OR LET 'EM OFF AND LAY SOME STRIPES....HAVE FUN WITH IT!

Seems a little hard on the drive train to be sitting on the brakes and giving it gas without linelocks.

Clutch in, rev to 3g drop clutch mash gas.

just hit the traction control button once, mash the gas and it should roast them easily. No need to step on the brake.

Turn the TC off and punch it. Plain and simple. Don't even have to put it in Sport mode.

Sorry but I am thinking if you had to ask the question maybe you shouldn't be attempting it just yet? Instead why not find an empty area and start off with just playing with the gas pedal?

also be careful, the car has a tendency to get sideways when the wheels break loose. So leaving on stabilitrack is a good idea if you are new to this type of thing.

shift into reverse
Mash the gas pedal to the floor..

Slam it into Drive. Or Low gear.

LOL sorry.. couldn't resist.

Don't blame me if it drops parts out from underneath... It works good on RW drive rental cars...
