Been watching quite a few of these and it's the same idea in every show buy a proper scrapped vehicle do it up.
But when finished he takes them out to the road builds up the revs rear brake light is on and he starts to smoke the tyres without moving then keeps going and gradually this insane burnout pushes the car forwards. Then you see the rear brake lights go off as the burnout stops.
Note the engine is at WOT and does sound good.

Now I thought this was a special brake he had set up to lock the front wheels for such hooning however he was given a brand new mustang to do up in his super muscle car way but as soon as it was delivered he did the same burnout. Now I'm not sure how he is doing this ? These cars are all autos so is it a case of into drive foot on the brake then floor the throttle and as the power is greater than the rear brakes ability the wheels spin. So the discs must be glowing and ruined given the duration it's on a burnout.

Note there is no big pool of water either it's always dry and public highway.

If you wanted to copy what they are doing how do you do it and apart from tyres is there any damage being done to the car?

Finally as all his engines are brand new I was under the impression you never do such antics until quote a few miles are under it's belt. These engines are big block 530/430v8 some super charged sone with mad max style ram super charger.

I've gone on the super muscle car website and you cannot buy them sadly as they appear to sell in auctions for c$45k-$65kwhich I think is a steal.

Can I do the burnou in my auto 330d? And if so I'm guessing put it into sport.

Do the rear discs glow and therefore is it a risk of tempering the discs?I don't want any damage tyres I accept but the rest I want to be eyes wide open. Also as au auto box does it change up or just hold it in first until you actually gain traction

Caught red handed. Discovery turbo is the culprit.

I'd happily buy one of those for $50k
