I have the ET streets II and thu call for little to no burnout. Just wondering for those who do have them what pressures are you guys running? MT site calls for them to be at 12-16 psi. What pressures are you guys running and are you warming them up?


Another noob question is how do you guys warm (stand burn) your tires on the Z at the track? With fwd it's easy. Pull handbrake and go at it. With older vehicles just drop clutch then press the brakes lightly while pressing the gas. When this is done with the z it seems as if the rear breaks are being utilized too at the same time, stopping your burnout. Please chime in.


Well any RWD car you do a standing burnout with is going to use the rear brakes a little, the problem with the 370 is it has that brake override crap that wont allow you to hit the gas hard while hitting the brakes. Use the search and you will find several threads on how to fix this problem etc.
