Hit the gas pedal. :-)

You talking about a burnout I assume.....

Super easy on a auto, hold the brake and hit the gas.....

Lil trickier in manual, but can be done with right heel on brake and right toe pressing gas with clutch in.....

put it in neutral on a auto and rev it till it hits the limiter then put it in gear and hold on....... with a stick put it in 2nd gear and hold the clutch in and rev it till it hits the limiter then release the clutch and hold on.... This is how I do it and it works just great and if you have nitrous make sure you spray the whole time it works wonders on a motor with no load on it.

Dude, don't do that anymore. Neutral slamming your vehicle does all kinds of damage to the transmission and other crap. I watched someone do this to his mothers station wagon and the u-joint shattered.

Don't get all upset there buddy, we're just letting you know that you aren't doing your vehicles any favors by doing that. We're trying to keep that money in your wallet.
