I saw the subject of burnouts, and figured i'll put in a word.

Bro, it's real simple...just turn off VSC, hold one foot on brake, and the just slam the gas with your other foot (preferably left on brake and right on gas!) Once you feel the car jerk forward, lightly let off the brake. It's almost like driving a stick, as if the brake pedal were the clutch. Very rarely will you be able to just turn off VSC and slam it to burnout. You need to spin the tires a little before you can get it going.

Like I've had to be careful in my G35 because even with the VSC on the tires spin at lights!

*try to avoid pressing the brake and gas together with VSC on, because you could drop your tranny...and that would be no bueno.

lexus VSC is extremely intrusive. You wont' be able to spin anything at any kind of condition with it on.
