I did a 4th gear burnout in my buddy's camaro (4.30 gears) about 6 years ago when he was running 12's

I tried sticking it into 5th... didnt work out to well :rollinglaugh:

I think it's possible that the cobra in that vid was doing a 4th gear :drunk:

Yea that is one hellacious clutch in that car. A friend of mine did that is his 351 notch and OMG it smelled crazy but then again a toasted clutch, melting tires and burning bleach have an odd effect on the senses.

my buddies bone stock auto mustang shifted into overdrive once when he was powerbraking, one of the crazy things we did this was prob 4-5 yrs ago. His speedo said 90 mph lol Its def not one of the smartest things we have done. He drove that car very hard. lol ever power brake in the rain until the road drys under the tires and it starts smoking??

If there is someone on this site who has not done that should probably get like a 2 day ban or something.

No 2nd gear burnouts are not impressive. This is 3 gears in my car with nothing but gears and exhaust, and I could have sat still longer (not on a line-loc). So a car with that much power and a water box...4th is really not so amazing when you think about.

Yes I do miss 2nd on the first attempt, and yes I do start in 2nd on the last burnout.


thanks now i dont have to prove it LOL. I dont have a line lok so i would have cooked my rear brakes doing it.

Not that it really matters but.....in my opinion it looks like he is in second or third. I don't think he went all the way into fourth gear but I don't think he stayed in first because of his RPM (judging by sound) to wheel speed ratio.

Well it is flat out impossible for that to have been 1st or 2nd...it could have been 3rd but IMO and same goes for most of the people I have showed this to who are into this sort of thing, thats 4th.

All you have to do to tell he's in either 3rd or 4th is listen to the load on the engine. When he first hits it in first, it just raps up instantly, however, by the time he nails it in the last gear it takes a second for the rpm's to come up, and not like he's messing with the throttle, but like there is a tremendous load. Judging by the sound of that thing, I would estimate that it's got a Kenne Bell or a Whipple. Judging by most other KB or Whipple cars, I'd say he's got at LEAST 600 to the tires. Now, the torque is probably a similar number, combine that with 3.55's (stock ratio of a Cobra) or possibly lower (numerically higher) gears and water and there's no doubt in my mind that he's in a higher gear than 2nd.
