^^^, Glad somebody else tried throwing it into reverse at speed, because I wasn't game.

Basically.... press brake pedal to engage all brakes.

Push button to engage the unit

Release pedal.

Front brakes stay on, rears aren't.

Burn out all you like.

Release button to release front brakes.

You guys are all amateurs! I always do burnouts, I even do them in my sleep...in snow during the winter.

I miss my Sentra Spec-V... just rev and dump the clutch.
If you're neutral dropping cars, you should not be driving. Worst thing you can do to a slushbox short of slamming it into reverse or park at 80.

like thats real healthy for a car too

As for doing burnouts... once you break the traction its ok (cept for bouncing off the limiter and once the tires regain traction can be dangerous), its the torque applied to the parts before the tires break is the danger, snap axle/snap driveshaft... real burnouts for show are also done in 2nd gear on manual/muscle cars
I've got 100s of passes in stick cars. Burnout involves about 4500rpm with my right toe, right heel on brake, dump the clutch, transfer left foot to brake, modulate brake and gas and keep the rpms around 5000 until I feel right.
