Doing burnouts in this car is very different than my 1998 Z-28 I used to have. I could make the car rotate around the same spot, with both tires smoking. It did seem like only one tire was loose at a time...

Nice video - engine sounds great! I was trying to get my car to spin on the same spot, or at least to leave as much rubber on the ground as possible without blowing out a tire. Anyone know how long you can do a burnout for without running serious risk of a blowout?
