The 911 is a poor choice for burnouts because the resulting wheel-hop - even if you're running solid or ss motor mounts - is terrible, which is true of many cars with the engine over the driven wheels.
Line locks are essential for long, controlled burnouts - at least for those where the goal is to get the tires hot rather than to light the brakes on fire. Brake-stands - a burnout with the brakes applied - are a great way to ruin a car and possibly impress girls who still won't sleep with you.

Like the title says, can 911s do burnouts? I'm talking actual burnouts. Rear wheels spinning, smoking tires, but the car is stationary. I've looked for videos but every "burnout" video is donuts or power slides. I'm thinking it should be possible but I'm not sure how the engine over the resr would effect things.
I joined up because I've been binge watching supercar and cars leaving car meet videos on YouTube. Every time I see a Porsche driver try to do a burnout as they leave the meet and barely even spin the wheels I can imagine just how disappointed the owner is. And it's not for lack of trying.
People in this thread say they dont want to and wouldn't try, "because it's a scalpel" made me chuckle. Because all the blokes in the vids were certainly trying hard, and if Porsches spun up well they'd be lecturing us on how its a great feature of the car. Typical "Oh I didn't want that anyway" scenario.
The cranky replies in this thread just kind of back that impression up. I googled why Porsches can't spin the wheels and ended up here. Id be pretty sore if I'd dropped $200k and couldn't get a little sideways too!

This is why AWD is in the 918 spyder.
Look at 997 turbos and 991 turbos with their AWD smoke cars at the drag strip with their little 6 cylinder motors....
You can dump the clutch and spin or donut any GT3 or GT2 911.
But it is a rookie move.
Porshe is all about corner speed and exit speed. That is most likely a foreign language to a person looking to do "burnouts"......

I wont disparage burnouts, they certainly look cool...
... But ...
Once you realize ANY car can do a burnout, its not so cool anymore... I used to do burnouts in my dads 1978 6cyl olds that made 131hp.
If your goal is to do burnouts, buy cheap, narrow tires (dryrotted old ones work well), overinflate them, drop the clutch and watch the pretty smoke. If it still wont light em up, add a little bleach and you can spin them by hand...
Its all about proper equipment to the task...

Except any of the Porsches out of the hundreds I've seen in compilations on YouTube.

Generally you see videos of idiots doing burnouts and leaving parking lots only to crash into other cars. It is hard to find porsche drivers looking to do the same.

rear engine is all about traction. Weight over the rear wheels.
