don't know specifically for that video, but i have heard of people using plain water... or i've heard of people using bleach although the chlorine gas that is a result of that is never a good thing....

 

Tire shine stuff you put on your wide walls, there is a reason why it says on the bottle not to put on thread

 

There's somebody who definitely has not


Basically on two counts, tire & e-brake destruction notwithstanding

- Manual says not to spin one wheel - causes problems with drive train
- manual says problems arise from spinning rear wheel(s) if ESP is enabled.

Consequences are transmission, drive train and rear differential.

I wouldn't give you a nickel for that car. Well maybe 10 cents for a couple interior parts I need...

It's definitely fun to watch someone else trash their own car though...

 

Emergency brake? Are you talking about the crossfire?

 

yeah the crossfire does have an e-break. it says he goes through all 5 gears. the e-break and much more would be burnt.

 

I'm not a burnout expert but you dont use the e-brake for a RWD car. Not sure on the crossfire but on most cars the e-brake is a drum brake inside of a disc brake basically. For a RWD car you basically press normal brake down gently enough to stop the front wheels. The front wheel brakes are much stronger then the rear.

 

damn. i think ur right haha.

but he is ripping apart the breaks. you can see the car start to go side to side at a point. just a bad thing to do to your car.

i have a 6 speed so the whole holding the break and letting off the clutch and hitting the gas all at the same time is kinda difficult haha

 

Why would he even have the e-brake on? All that would do is add resistance to the tires he is trying to spin. Glad he is buying the tires..

LOL it's not that hard. I've put on a few smoke shows shows myself without having to use anything to help spinning the tires. The stock Conti's dont grip for crap anyways. All you gotta do is rev it up, dump the clutch, and apply the brakes quickly while keeping the gas mashed. Not very good for the car but what's a little fun once in a while.

I'm not sure if both rears spun or not.

 

I saw this video before, and I still stick to my original conclusion:

Bullshit.jpg

Think about it. The amount of time it takes to wind out each gear in every other car INCREASES with each shift. This is due to a couple of reasons...

1) The gears get progressively taller
2) The increasingly taller ratio will make the car have to work harder at the same RPM, especially in a "standstill", "brake-torqued" situation

The X-fire in the vid blasts through all gears at the same rate. Auto or not, I can't see the engine's torque compensating for the steep angle of the later gears.

Launch your car @ 2,000 RPMs in 1st gear. Now, try doing the same in 6th gear, from a standstill. Unless you're driving a Viper with 500+ LB/FT of torque, you're stalling in a heartbeat.

While the Crossfire is torquey, it isn't THAT powerful to be able to sustain smoking the tires through five gear changes.

Let's just say for grins and giggles that 1st gear is 2.80 ratio, and 5th is .95 .... you're not going to accelerate through the final gear as quickly as you would the initial one, unless the car is on a lift.

Here's a video of a TRUE multiple-gear burnout... clutch shifts and all. A keen ear will recognize the slower ascension in RPM as the gear number gets higher.

I think he just did 1st gear 5 times...

 

That makes one person that agrees w/ me... hehe

 

Two people, the same thing happened to me the first time I tried, my car is stick, so Im pretty sure it didn't shift up. And yeah, nowhere near enough power to spin the tires in 5th.. without the TC, 2nd would be tough.

 

You don't use the e-"break". You mash the brakes and hit the gas. Front tires hold the car and the torque over powers the rear brakes and the tires spin.
Used to do it with my Ma's Pinto.
Don't tell!

 

I called BS on this video and commented to him about it. My s/n is bigtruck8622 on YouTube. I told him all he was doing was hitting the rev limiter in 1st five times but he insists it was five gears lol.

 

in watching that video and clicking on a few more i came to this

Here's one that will get you to school on time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N2eHWHuDQM&NR=1

 

It pulled out real nice in 5th gear hahaha
B.S.

 

Holy crapp
Better be careful if yur standing at the bus stop ...lol
