Yep, unless you doing a 1/4mile run on the dyno.

What was I incorrect on?

that guy was a total jackass

OK, no moron here, but I plan on picking up one of these cars in the near future and all of my brake-torque experience has been in auto cars. I completely understand not to pull the e-brake or ride the hell out of the clutch, but is there anything else I need to know? Obviously a Corvette has plenty of power to just dump it a light them up, but for a CONTROLLED stationary burnout, what is the proper way to execute without costing yourself a great deal more than tires?

I rev mine to 4-5K and dump the clutch for my burnouts. I also use a line-lock.

What a jackass!!!

Clutch and tires are 2 different smells what is wrong with some people. If you don't know how to do it properly don't tape your stupidity .

A line-lock makes things stupid easy regardless of transmission, because you don't need to play games with your feet.

Agreed 100%...and it helps not tear up the rear rotors/pads as well :)
