lol at thread! If it is a manual just take it up to 6500 and drop the clutch, it will do a nice burnout!

lol...yeah that's kinda funny.... no traction control here on a tC lol....but we do have ABS. and like some of the others on this thread have said is very wise advice. Just to do a burnout....especially on a stock drive train including the clutch and no lsd... you are seriously risking doing a lot of high dollar part damage to your car.

wow...kids these days are so friggan hopeless.

tc has no traction control, your just getting wheel hop cuz you're a stupid prat beating the crap out of your parents gift to you. stop beating your poor tc and learn how to do a proper burn out when you have your own car and have to pay for it.

Part of the reason for that is when it's bouncing, you have very little traction.

The only traction control tC's come with is the automatic type whose performance is dependent upon the driver's brain and their right foot. It's the easiest type to defeat since there aren't any buttons, codes or anything else to worry about. Unlike some other cars, the tC's can be defeated completely so that it won't get in your way, you can keep burning & hopping until the car's toast if you like.

I can do a burnout in the tC easily, and if it starts to "bounce" (wheel hop), I can stop that instantly. Many people here can do the same thing if/when they want, no problem, so ask yourself, "why can't I do that too?".

Why worry about burnouts when you need to learn how to drive first? Priorities!
