While it might be fun to laugh at the guys here (not that they don’t deserve to be laughed at, at least a little,) the important thing here is to identify what went wrong, why things took a nasty turn, and what you need to know so your car can live to show off another day.Ĭan you spot why the driver in this video lost control? With a rolling start, the driver hits the gas, and the burnout commences. Other bits we’ll discuss include a Chevy Camaro->ke248 that eats the curb, a Dodge Charger->ke218 that loses its nose, a BMW->ke178 that catches on fire, and a Chevy Corvette->ke1280 that will need a lot more than $600 tires after a failed attempt at burning out. I do have an opinion, but we’ll leave that discussion for a more appropriate forum (maybe the comments section below.) That said, I have made it a point to only include one Mustang fail video here so you Ford->ke31 fans don’t get your panties in a bunch. In this article, we’re going to cover the science behind burning out, why things tend to go wrong, and discuss how to do it the right way, so you don’t end up staring in the next viral video of a driver who bites off more he can chew while leaving an auto show.īefore we get too far ahead of ourselves, I want to start by saying that there is an overwhelming number of burnout fail videos involving Mustangs.->ke428 I don’t know why that is. You have to know your car, how to control a skid, and everything has to be just right, or you might end up biting a curb, destroying your car’s drivetrain, hitting another car, or worse. There is a science to it, as well as skill. See, there is a lot more to burnouts that just having raw power in your hands. The internet is littered with videos->ke278 of “that guy” and the untimely demise of his car because he just didn’t know what he was doing. Unfortunately, it’s really not that simple. It seems pretty easy, right? Slam the gas, let the wheels break loose, steer the car, and hope people stay out of your way. They are a great past time for any guy who has had a car with a little bit of power and a necessary evil for those who like to hit the quarter mile strip on the weekend.
