I thought you just pressed on the brakes then hit the gas until the tire broke free? I tried this on my 88 5th avenue and it just stalled Can anyone help me?
You don't want to just stand on the brake. You'll want to apply only enough pressure to keep the front brakes stationary but allow the rears to succumb to the twisting of the axle. Try slowly easing on the brakes as you're giving it more gas. ...or as Rob said, you need more power.
uzzled: o No: isn't that a front wheeler o No: uzzled: :shock: : aaaawww!!! hell try a neutral drop :eek2: :shock:
You can, but it takes practice! I race with a guy who had a 2003 LS1 Z28. He's got a video of about a minute, or more, of powerbraking it with a 6 spd. It has an initial lurch as he transfers off the clutch over to the brakes, but from there he just holds it. :TU:
Power braking works better when you have a performance converter. The stock converter in an 88 5th Avenue is probably pretty tight. You can't get far enough up on it to make a difference, and yes, you need more power. What are you doing trying to power brake a 5th Avenue?? I think you have too much free time on your hands:laugh: :laugh: And George, Why would you need to power brake a stick car. Just rev the motor to the appropriate RPM, and side step the clutch:3gears:
I got the car for free from my grandparents, drove it around for around 4 months before i bought my regal HEY SPEAKING OF MY REGAL ill just post a new thread
On this particular car.............open the little door between the tailights............you see that large rubber band in there..............give it about 150 more twists and try the burnout again.................should work this time !!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:
