Executing the proper burnout
 

Boy, these things sure have a lot of power and torque, but I can't seem to execute the proper burnout procedure as easily as I could in my old powerglide Chevelle - the Carrera seems to want to jerk and wheel hop all over. What's the best technique? Which gear? How bad is this for the drivetrain?

The best technique is to not do it. 911's are designed to hook-up and launch as a result of the rear weight bias. It's what propels them out of the corners so fast. If you want to do burn-outs, get something with a big heavy engine in front and a light rear-end -- like a Chevelle!!!

What the Heck....

go buy a corvette

6000 rpms - then drop the clutch - 1st gear. What year?

Just grow a pair and FLOOR IT!

'85 Carrera coupe. If I lived in Florida I'd go topless, too.

Corvette - UGH! I don't like cresting hills blindly.

Try a dirt road

Then I am going to say no - don't do it. The 915 transmission is not very forgiving when it comes to standing drag strip starts.

They are around 1500 -2000 to rebuild - Take it to a racetrack with curves instead. You will be happy, and your car will be happier.

bring money

Would you smack your wife\GF around just for the fun of it?

maybe just a gentle tug of the hair at the appropriate moment

Let that guide you in your treatment of your 911 then. ;)

Son,
I learned the hard way about treating a 911 like a Chevelle, Camaro, etc.
$2000.00 in tranny parts later I have a rebuilt gearbox and a pretty pi$$ed off wife.
Resist the urge to do it. My SC has enough torque to get off the line pretty quick WITHOUT dropping the clutch.

I peel out in my C4S all the time. It'll burn all foe tires.

If you're gonna do it, post pictures!

Well, since no one else will tell you , it falls to me to let you in on the secret. Bacon fat !!!! Coat the rear treads and you'll smoke em every time!! Smells great too !!!!

you mean if I do a burnout in an old datsun it'll turn into a new Porsche Turbo, COOL!

Place rear tires in water...
Select 2nd gear...
Pre load rear end..
(hand brake up and feather clutch to remove R/P gear lash)
Hand brake down.
rev 3k release clutch and hold at 4500rpm.
As car rolls forward clutch it before the rear tires hook.
This avoids shocking the rear end and busted R/P, CVs, axles, stub axles and axle splines or hubs.
Thats how the VW drag racers with fragile transaxles and a couple hundred hp do it.

The Porsche was designed for things much greater than burn outs.;)
Can't help you with wheelies.
