neutral drop... VERY BAD...

FrankW

pour a little water on th ground. esp off and let it loose. hopefully your car has enough power. lol

I cant beleive someone actually mentioned a Neutral drop on an Automatic.. Are you crazy??

I did that when i was 16 on my 190E 2.3.. Tore the tranny apart.. worked all summer to pay for a new one..

Stay away from the Neutral drop idea!

i tried to peel out on one of the loaner cars i got (C240), but i found it impossible.... at least on dry surfaces.

i tried peeling out over wet surface yesterday at the empty park (high winds pushed the water from the soccer field's sprinkler system to the parking lot). didn't work. i give up on it.

also, that neutral drop. wow that'll be crazy if i did that. i don't think i'd do that even to a loaner.

thanks guys anyway. i'll just have to go to my parents house and peel out in my mother's s500 if i want any 'thrills'

Wet your rear tires with bleach.....then power brake it. You'll get clouds of white smoke like a NASCAR burnout.

Best way is to hit the brakes to the floor, then floor the gas. Let off the brakes until the tires spin. I can actually power brake my 6 speed coupe, but must let off the brakes to get the tire to spin good. Once they break loose you can just let off completley and then take-off. The 240 should have enough power but you have to overcome the brakes so you have to let off them almost all the way. And yes if you had a 6 speed it is much easier to smoke them. I do not like buying new tires that often so I have to keep my cool when I drive the coupey!!!

sure...neutral drops are bad...but when youre this desperate to do something like a burnout this never fails!

My freind did it so many times on his C220 and nothing ever happened although it is very bad to do.

Never do that in a 6-speed. Unlike auto tranny, which uses viscous coupling and therefore can withstand such abuse relatively well, manual transmission uses dry friction, so by brake-torqeing it you are burning the cluch.

I toe heal the brake and gas and drop the clutch. Yes it will wear it but not once it is out all the way. And I have only done it once! Just to do it before I got new tires. I try not to actually spin them off the line, too much clutch wear for me and a waste of rubber. But I had to do it once! Now kicking the *** end out around corners happens once in a while though!!!

i got the car to do sort of a 180. man i'm having fun. still though, i wish i could smoke that tires. the fun ends wednesday with new tires.
