How to do a burnout?

turn off the ESP or Traction Control... hold the brake down with your right foot, and slow push the accelerator with your right foot at the same time easing off the brake but still firm on it. Be safe!

i find the easiest way is to do a roll back then it is easier to hold on the throttle and apply the brake to ur sitting still (with traction control off).
i dont know what transmission u have,
and i dont think u shud do this method if u have an auto transmission?
-and diesel on ground helps

best to start is to put some oil or water on the asphalt.

once the burn starts it's pretty easy to maintain it.

yep, just what they said, hold the break and mash the gas......these benz's do crazy burnouts like that. Lots of smoke too........ I wish I had my burnout on tape. Word for the wise though, don't make it a habit, ASR still works partially when you have it turned off....your rear breaks and tranny will hate you for it. By the way, if you're gonna do one, try pouring bleach down you'll like what you see.
