If you must, get the "Line Lock" or similar system that holds front brake pressure, and use water or soapy water to start the spin.

Burnouts are really the heat the tires for max grip. Not much need for that with a 300.....
Not really needed unless you are running drag radials, or slicks. Heating street tires does nothing. Just a quick whir of the tires to clean them off is all you need.

Maybe I'll ask my neighbor kid who drives a Mitsubishi truck that's been lowered, has mufflers that sound like God knows what, and is working on the thing all the time. For some reason, he likes to get out in the road and do burnouts, in the exact same spot that one guy was killed in a wreck 8 years ago, where two cars hit head on last year, plus a drunk totaled a Chevy Caprice in the same spot 6 years ago.
Last week he got three tickets from a city policeman for loud mufflers, no insurance and reckless driving. Maybe one day he will learn.

why bother with the brakes? just stand on the gas.

if just standing on the gas won't do it, its time for upgrades.

If you have the ponies bang her quick then pull 2nd then apply the brakes(practice makes this perfect and seemless), just note more ponies= easier burn

My partners 500+ hp Stang supergharged smokes em into third if you are quick enough. He can make that thing do em so hard its sick.

CJ

For me though if you really want to prove power find a track. Save the burnouts for warming up the tires.
