OP, usually you will only see a manual toast the clutch because of how the driver never disengages it. This example, the driver probably left his left foot on the clutch while having it on the brake as well. When you do a burnout, you sort of side step off the clutch fast. This causes it to slip a little bit and then you put your left foot on the brake and this causes the car to not move. Give it some gas and you have a smoke show.
Watch the end of the video and you can see that the driver has the brakes activated and he is properly roasting the tires!! |
Again in this case I said burn up an auto transmission, I never said anything about the clutches burning up.. you can hold the brake and stomp the gas on an auto transmission and it will overheat and the smoke will fly.. not as fast as this guy did on the Vette.. It is obviously not an Automatic.. as soon as he starts trying his burnout the smoke flies.. it would take longer to do that in an automatic, then once it does the whole transmission is toast...All I was trying to say is yes you can smoke an auto transmission..
