nothing stupider looking than front wheel drive cars doing burnouts.

Oh, one thing stupider.   The camera guy walking in front of the car and the dude standing in front of the hood.

I\'d like to see their Mensa IQ.

FWD burnouts just look stupid in my opinion.

But then I grew up going to NHRA drag racing, so I think RWD burnouts look more natural.  :)

FWD burnout are easier since all you have to do is put on the ebrake and let loose.

How do you think they do a rear wheel drive car?  Same damn thing.  Except of course you don\'t need people sitting there holding your car back.

To be honest, you dont need ppl holding the car back in either configuration. I\'ve seen plenty of RWD held back too now. :)

I\'ve seen numerous burnouts at the cheese car shows and they always have someone holding the car back with FWD.  I assume it\'s becuase the brakes are smaller in the rear and the lack of weight on the tires makes people need to hold it back.

If they were smarter, they would just position their FWD vehicle facing up a slight incline before commencing the burnout.  I\'ve done many accidental burnouts in my POS Saturn that way.

They could also throw some bags of rice in the trunk.  :D

EDIT:  I finally watched the video Luckee posted.  Something else that makes it stupid is that burnouts are supposed to end in a short launch.  I just looks so pointless when they do the burnout and then just shut the engine down without going anywhere.

Actually when you go to events the point is to blow the tire.  Everyone gets happy when the tire explodes.  

Yawn.
