Proper burnout with 3:73 gears

[Black4VPower]

For those of you with 3:73 gears what is the proper way to do a burn out? Are you starting the burnout in 1st gear and shifting into 2nd or are you starting in 2nd? With my old 99 GT I had 4:10 gears and I could do a burnout starting in 2nd gear. I am just unsure if 3:73s are enough gear to start one in 2nd gear. Thanks.

Since I put my 3.90's in I start in 2nd. With the water box it's easy to get them spinning.

I did second gear burnouts with my 3.27's. makes for a lot of smoke in second above 6k

Nice video, I could smell the rubber from my computer. I just wasn't sure if with 3:73s if the engine would bog when starting out in 2nd.

I haven't done a burn out like that in forever.

Ill have to admit Ive never don't that to my tires.. ever. lol. Ive done a few burnouts but not like that, and definitely not since I started paying 2-250 per tire.

I haven't done that in my Cobra. But when I was a teenager I had an older Mustang. I went through a set of brand new tires in one summer.

that's how I polished off my terrible HTR-Z's. I usually do a set of rear tires every 8-12 months . but that's also 8-12k miles.
gotta kill them before swapping them. usually roast them about 2 miles from the tire shop. they always comment on the amount of melted rubber on everything and the smell of burnt rubber.

Are we talking at the track or on the street? Two totally different burnouts then lol
