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!!!

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.

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.

likes to left foot brake.

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.
