Best mode for doing a sweet burnout down the street?

Line Lock launch with the tires already spinning

Drag Mode, not Sport Mode

I don't know about you, but my tires are well over $300 a piece. I'm not burning off any extra tread, by doing burn outs, then I have to... But that's just me.

Slight brake hold, and I find they require quite a jab of throttle (50-75%) to break loose since the Coyote has such weak low-end torque.

I think the Mustang's weak low-end torque makes the process trickier and harder to control once you're drifting, because you're at higher wheel speed than a car with more torque that easily transitions in/out of grip. I believe this is actually a factor in the Mustang crash stereotype. It's clunky to try to slide these things. They also have less self-steer (steering wheel automatically returning back to center in a drift) compared to other cars, so one can easily end up in an over-correction situation (where the car snaps back in the opposite direction of the initial slide).

Modern BMWs are probably the easiest to play around in because they have excellent stability control software which allows increasing amounts of slip angle, all while keeping it smooth and under control.

I use adult mode. It's cheaper, and less risk of losing my car for 28 days.

A few killjoys in this thread I need to find somewhere to try out linelock.

Line lock makes it foolproof.

We need to start a roasting tires video thread. I ain't paying for them so send it! I nominate @Hulkster. Go get you some, man!

How about in front of a police station?

I am currently in “YouTube mustang crash video” skill level so I’m not trying it yet. I was reminded two weeks ago when getting out of a junction too fast, I managed to countersteer it but the car’s Normal mode stability control was interfering at the wrong time. Luckily nothing bad happened.

It does seem to be that ASC interference that catches a lot of people out on the junction pull outs.

To each his own. I'm too old to want to do that - or want to know how to do it.

They take your car for 28 days if your caught doin a burnout? Is that a New Zealand thing?
