I just realized why I couldn't throw my car into doing donuts.
I left the traction control on.
Turn that little button off and WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO complete 360s no problem.
Do you think traction control also limits you from doing brake stand burnouts?
Because I've tried in a small puddle and all I get are the brakes being applied. Maybe I'll try sometime when we don't have snow and when I have plenty of bleach. Are they any other good agents to help provide more smoke and less tire burn when doing brake stands? And do break stands burnout your brakes as well?

Yeah, no trac makes for fun times. Put the car in N, rev it and drop it into D and you can do a hell of a burn out!! I used to do it in my Infiniti all the time. Try not to do it in the Lex!!
Peace,

TC limits the power of the engine. Cut's back the injectors, fuel, and air.

My 94 SC300 has a TRAC button just to the top right of the shifter, and to the top left are the seat heaters. When i push that little button, i get a beautiful orange light in the bottom left of my dash that says
TRAC
OFF
This makes burnouts/donuts much easier. I find sometimes on a full tank of gas or with another person in the car its a hell of a lot harder to burnout from a standstill with my auto. Damn that extra weight!

correct me if im wrong but i don't believe you can do a break stand in the SC cuze it has 4 wheel breaks ,a break stand i when you apply the breaks if you have 2 in the front or the back and you hit the gas and the wheels without breaks spin while you stay in place.
