In the latest edition of C&D they state that the new SHO cannot do a burnout because of the AWD system. While this is true, there is a simple way to turn your perfectly good front tires into clouds of smoke. Not only is it possible to do it from a stand still, it also works well from a 15-20 MPH roll.
1. Turn off traction control via switch above radio.
2. With left foot, push down on parking brake just enough to make the light come on. This disables the rear diff from engaging and keeps all the power going to the front wheels.
3. Floor accelerator while holding foot on parking brake to keep light on.
4. After leaving about 20 ft. of stripes and the car finally gains traction, release parking brake fully and allow car to shift at redline.
For even longer stripes, engage parking brake to the first click. This will allow you to use your left foot on the regular brake pedal to build boost before launch.
Don't believe me? Try it.
P.S. It also works on the Ecoboost Flex and MKT.
