Tim, I've never sent Video files online and don't know how to do that but my brother should know so I'll ask him, and if he don't know I'll find someone who would. Just hang in there...

Burnouts are so much fun! :-) I LOVED the color combination of that 550 in "Family Man." :-)

I will get someone to help me put the video on this site. It's on digital tape but maybe the meantime I'll take a digital pic of the video. Hang tight!....

If I find a way to put the video of me in the 348 doing burnouts and continuous donuts till the car disappear in the heavy clouds I will post it, very insane! when people saw it they thought I was nuts. It was just for kicks. Even more challenging try doing drifts on a loop turn and coming out of it smooth. I've been pretty good at the track and haven't spun out yet. When I attended my first lesson on the track, the instructors were surprised on my handling abilities on the track I drove for the first time. This is most likely from many years of practice on different type of cars from front engined to mid engined cars. When I had my M3 I had my rt side of the car lift off the ground entering a different freeway and that was a hair raising experience, I heard a clunk and saw this silver rim rolling away from my drivers side and thought "hey that's my wheel!", I do drive my cars hard as you can see by this pic, a clean break from wheel stress and not a single bend on the rim. You have to know how to feel the cars weight shift and accellerate hard out of a turn especially on a Ferrari..

Have any of you guys done a burnout in a 308? I never had to be honest and am wondering about it...

To do that you probably dont need to turn the wheel. The car will torque to the side. Im not sure what you are trying to do, but you have to countersteer and the car will go straight, but will be pointed to one side. If you do it with the wheel turned to one side even slightly the car will swap ends.

Well my little 308 gets rubber in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but I would never do that in a residential area...
By the way, does your dad know you are using up the tires on his 355???

I dont know about all of you, bug whenever i get to the end of my street..i try to execute a perfect burnout..i spin the rear tires and move the with the steering wheel turned slightly to the left as i do the burnout..i'll leave tire marks for about 10 feet..thats all im trying to do..I am trying to do a burnout exactly like the one that guy did in nicholis cages 550 in the family man outside the building in wall street..if any of u have seen that movie..that in my opinion is the perfect ferrari burnout.. i know my 355 could do a lot more as im sure all the other high hp cars could do..but nothing is like the smell of burning rubber in the morning!
