    Here are the steps to do a proper burnout in a Scat Pack with Autostick.

    Turn traction control all the way off (at a minimum partially off) and be in Sport Mode.

    Put the transmission, manually, in 1st gear.

    Hold the brake with your left foot, give it a little gas with your right foot, rev it up to 1,500-,2000 rpm .

    Slowly release the brake as you accelerate.

    It should light up pretty good that way.

    Watch this video.

    Sport mode not Track mode??? Have had the road screaming in my 06 Viper truck... as for an auto,, I hate holding the brake to heat the wheels... My 21 1320 has something to lock up the front wheels.... Only has 100 miles on it. Have not done that yet... I thank you for the info.
    My book tells me not to shift the trans when the wheels are spinning. Tell know I thought I would smok'em in second gear...
    Have to add - I am a street racer... Light turns green go...Hit 60 take foot off of gas and watch ass hole pass me thinking he won... LOL My 1320 jumps at the line just flooring it - what a car... bbmac
