Seems to me that the car's computers must have a special "burn out" mode or the computers would go nuts and shut the cars down. Everything the computers are designed to prevent are there when you are doing a burn out. Anyone know?
Good question. Maybe it is related to safety and the need for sudden acceleration such as quickly getting off railroad tracks when a train is approaching.
They just shut down the traction control settings and let her rip, it’s only those that would try to prevent it, and the anti-stall system. Just turn everything up to 11 and put your foot flat, exactly the same in your 599, 458, 430 etc.... the only thing you have to watch is the clutch on the older F1 boxes, as those tend to overheat with the power needed to break traction on the special track surfaces. We were doing burnouts at silverstone a few years back, mine were in my 612 of all things, but that was manual, and some of the 360 owners trying it were frying their clutches by not being aggressive enough.
why? isn't it all manual clutch and gas pedal? as long as revs are high computer doesn't need to kick in for anti stall. If it is not as simple as that, where is the complexity?
No traction control on these cars, but the other trick (besides flooring the throttle) is that the drivers set the brake bias all the way forward; then crank the steering wheel, keep a little brake pressure, and around they go!
