Default Best way to get tires smoking

Well ever since I smelled burning rubber from 1sicks bridgestones I've been wanting to do the same thing but it's seems impossible for me in the GS3 so somebody tell me how to get that smoke ?

This is it but I like to give good pressure to the brake pedal. You can hold it there all day if you want but you will place wear on some additional parts of your car other than your smokin' tires!!

There is no reason for wetting the tires or anything on the lines. If your car is in good shape and it's well maintained there is no reason that you shouldn't be able to just turn off the VSC and light them up regardless of doing a brake stand.

Good point- VSC off ... but they don't need to be wet nor in first gear. No sense bumping in the rev limiter if you don't need to. D works just fine.
