What do you say when asked "Do a Burnout"?

Depends on the location, I try to behave myself around town just because it's a small town and I really don't need a target on my back. Outside of that heck yeah, I don't need anybody to taunt me though "I love getting it really sideways with smoke coming off both tires".
 
I just do this ...................................................................

if I am at the track. Oh yea ! But honestly on the street I very rarely do a burnout as I dont want no ticket to pay and when I do all the damn rocks stick to my tires. I save the burnouts for the track most of the time. Ron
 
Well it's something you don't see everyday, especially with all of these front wheel drive cars now. When we were younger, it was an everyday occurrence.

I say fry um! :3gears:
 
I say...it wont break the tires loose. Then if I feel like it I will

I usually just say "I need my license" sometimes followed by a burnout! lol
LOL ^ this is why we're friends

As already mentioned, I agree it depends entirely on the situation/location/physical attributes of the babe in question. That being said, I cannot officially confirm or deny publicly that I may or may not light off some tire from time to time...

...Always hoon responsibly. And sorry for the non-mopar, fellas, it's the best I got at the moment.

I badge them and say that I'd love to, but I have to set the example.

If I'm in civvies, I'll still light 'em up...ONLY if it's safe to do so.

If I'm in uniform...NO.
 
With 375 HP and 4 speed --3:55rear gears. 45-5000 RPM . How do you do a good burn out. ( we could say at the drag strip" 8-) 1st or 2nd gear??..................................MO
 
I was out cruising one evening with a bunch of guys and pulled up to a light. 2 Kids were standing at the corner admiring the cars and one said light her up mister,Pleeeease!!! So thats what i did. When the smoke cleared there were flashing lights in the rear view mirror. Didn't see the cop across the street at the gas station. Came up to the car and said nice burnout but i have to give you a ticket for Failure to operate a vehicle in a safe manner. $140 dollars later and a insurance increase i learned a valuable lesson.
 
Smoooook um sideways! If you can still see out the windshield you didn't do it long enough.

I had this happen to me too, did a pretty nice slide around an intersection in town only to see the cops parked in the lot at the exit. Like you said I learned my lesson "DON'T EVER DO A BURNOUT IN FRONT OF A COP" haha!
 
Mine won't burn em! Even with the 383 and 4:11 gears. I don't even have to think about it.

Yet!

In October my buddy was down to visit in his Supercharged M3 and I talked him into going to find an abandoned parking lot so we could do some movies and action shots... burnouts, donuts, whatever... get into the parking lot and there's one PT Cruiser there and the couple are just sitting in it having coffee... so we bitch about the PT Cruiser for a few minutes then proceed to follow a roadway out to the second parking lot exit... There was a Cop sleeping in his car on that road! We lucked out big time! #PTcruiserssavelives
 
Used to do burnouts with my Cummins powered pickup but now that it's in need of a new set of gears, I don't do them anymore lol. But yeah, depends on the situation and if it's safe. My yard cart 95 V6 Dakota has no problem lighting up the one wheel peel but the 10.50-31's on the back are hard as a rock and it will smoke like crazy. With the straight pipe, you know it's not a V8 and most are surprised that it will do that.

I did that once...used to work at an IH truck dealership. The dealership sat between two roads that were in a Y shape. Guy I worked with lived across the street, and was messing with me one day saying that he thought my car couldn't smoke the tires. I said be on your porch at quitting time. He was, I pulled to the end of the lot and I stood on it until you couldn't see. I pulled off and then I spotted a cop sitting at the stop sign looking right at me. I wasn't going to go past him, so I turned to go back the other way. The cop got held up by traffic. The way the truck lot was in the Y, you couldn't see very far. I heard his siren, so I pulled back on the lot and shut the car off. As I sat there with my license and registration in hand, the cop went flying by. Sitting there for a minute with a WTF look, I fired the car up and headed the other way, got home and parked the car for a couple weeks. Never did hear anything about it. Now I look around before I do one.
 
On my way home from a local car cruise a couple years ago, I was in my '68 Road Runner and close to home I lit up a healthy burnout in the middle of the block. It was around 10 at night. Meanwhile there was a local cop a half a block directly behind me. I saw his lights as I pulled away and immediately pulled over. He actually drove through the cloud of smoke, got out of his cruiser and came up to my window. I gave him my license as I appologized, and he noticed how close by I lived. He said something like, "if I had this car I would probably do the same thing, but don't do burn outs in the neighborhood, people will complain". After checking out my car and BSing, he let me go! :headbang:
 
In 1994 I had my 65 Impala SS in the lot at the DMV. I was inside getting custom plates for it, ( 2 FST 65). When I came out there were two state troopers standing behind the car. Their car was parked crossways behind mine. I started sweating before I even got over there. Thinking ,oh sh*it, what have I done now. They immediately asked for my license and registration. I gave it to them and one sat in the car with my cards and the other stood and stared at me. After about 2 very long minutes he came out and handed them back. He asked me if I was the one that had smoked them long and hard last night on Freeman Street. I just looked at him and said, " Do you really think that I'm going to admit it if I was?" He cracked a smile and said that he KNEW that I was, because someone had called with a description of the car. He said there couldn't be two like that around here. I replied that there might be. We laughed. They were digging the car and wanted to look at it a little so I popped the hood and trunk and they looked inside the car and all. one of them joked that they should give me a badge and put me to work on the interstate chasing down speeders. I said no thanks. After about 30 minutes of this BS they said don't worry about last night, just don't do it again in a residential area. I said that was some good advice. lol. As I was pulling out of the lot they were sitting at the last parking space. I looked at them before pulling out to the road and one of them had his arm out of the window and was making the twirling, light 'em up, motion. I was shocked. So much so that I reversed back to beside the cruiser and said, " Really?" They both laughed and said sure, why not, it's state property and we are here to make sure it's safe. I said," And then you stop me and give me a huge ticket right?" They said nope. This is a one time deal man, we just want to see them lit up is all, we are car guys too. So I said, ok then, hang on to yer hats. I pulled out making sure there were no other cars in sight and rolled them through 3 gears. 540 HP 454 with 3.93 rearend. Burned a 1/4 tank of fuel doing it I think. As I drove away they were standing outside the cruiser clapping.

As a rule though, no, I don't do it if asked. To much to lose.
