If all you want to do is spin your tires and do donuts, you may have been better served in a V8 Camaro. I could roast the tires off my Camaros or Trans Ams and they were much cheaper to buy and keep. That is more what they are geared toward. Seems like kindof a waste to do this with a Porsche. I could see it trying to hook up, must have been been a bitch to keep it spinning. That Firebird and Mucstang generated more smoke faster too. Was the Firebird V8 or V6. Looked like a one wheel wonder rear end, unless it is broke.

Syncronized spinning.................interesting..

I need to do this with my BMW. The rear tires are pretty choppy from my old suspension. Could smooth them out a bit.

I do that with used rubber and worn out tires. Its actually harder than it looks as you lose orientation after a few rotations and can't see past the smoke. The only way is by looking up at where the building lights or signs are. I had lots of fun doing that on the skidpad with my 85 vette a few years back. The 944 couldn't keep a tight circle because it just doesn't have the continued torque.

Would you feel the same if this was done on a closed circuit?

Thumbs up nice!

DAMN COOL keep the burnout vids coming man!

FWIW , it looks like a closed off parking lot so if he runs into a light pole or wall thats the chance he takes, I dont see the harm in that.

Well, what did you expect?

Don't the drifter type guys use less expensive tires for this sort of thing? Perhaps you should consider that as well.
