Seriously Impressive Burnout

Seriously Impressive Burnout

Looks like Quick_Silver has been having a real good time at "Suck Bang & Blow".

Yeah, we thought we'd maybe gone to the 'wrong' site (hate it when that happens...) for a minute but, apparently, this event takes place each year in South Carolina and is a Bike Week rather than anything else that those words might bring to mind.

So, if you're surrounded by fellow enthusiasts, why not deliver a seriously impressive burnout ? And between the smoke, the wind and the lights, it looks more Hollywood special effects than rear tire meltdown. Very cool indeed.

For a combination of Babes & Bikes check out this slideshow.

Best Burnout EVER!

Best Burnout EVER!
TheDarkKnight gets top marks for bringing us possibly The Best Burnout EVER!

The license plate on the Camaro "WLSMKU" might seem a bit full of itself but this video shows it to be wholly true and then some. One look at the pristine tires on this car at the start of the vid and you just know that something bad is gonna happen to them.

The smoke coming off this car's rear end looks like a volcano just exploded and we're just glad we were upwind of that smoke!

For some Camaro on Camaro action, head to London Dragway to see which car clears the 1/4 mile fastest.

BMW Extreme Charger

BMW Extreme Charger
Car Movies brings us some German-style burnouts, donuts and acceleration runs in his V8-powered 5 series that looks just a little bit different from the norm.

We're not sure if it's the racing stripes, the rear spoiler or what, but this car definitely does not look entirely kosher. However, this BMW Extreme Charger is more than happy to do a smoky burnout and blast down some quiet country roads, so that's cool with us.

For some much more impressive BMW action, see what Fifth Gear makes of a M5 vs. M6 match up.

Viper vs. Supra

Viper vs. Supra
In keeping with the Olympic spirit of the times, this vid from Drift3r pits USA vs. Japan. Yeah, yeah, not vs. China but you try finding a suitable opponent to American muscle...

Anyway...this drag race is Viper vs. Supra and it's a closely-fought sprint down the 1/4 mile (after the requisite tire smoking and psyching out of the other driver, of course).

We know who our money is on, not least because we get to read all the car's specs before the cars go head-to-head.

For USA vs. USA, watch a Lingenfelter Corvette vs. Hennessey Viper and see who comes out on top.

Lamborghini Murcielago Burnout

Lamborghini Murcielago Burnout
SuperSpeeders are all about, unsurprisingly, the faster things in life. Which suits us just fine!

This vid is just a little teaser for what you have to look forward to on their latest DVD. The crew got their hands on a 2005 Lamborghini Murcielago and were more than happy to burn some rubber. Smoky burnout in an AWD Murci? No problem.

For an Italian supercar feast, pick a side because it's Ferrari vs. Lamborghini

1967 GT500 Burnout

1967 GT500 Burnout

mrjaseRACING gets all the credit for sharing this smoke-filled video with us.

The car might date to 1967 but that doesn't mean the burnout is any less impressive. We love the flat black paint on this GT500 but we love it's tire-smoking abilities more!

Get a good look at the car in the first half of the video; by the half-way point, it's just billowing smoke in every direction. However, you do get a small glimpse of the almost perfect rubber circle around the car just before the clip ends. Sweet!

For a look at a more modern GT500, check out this 2007 Shelby On the Dyno

900HP Procharged Corvette C5

900HP Procharged Corvette C5

Devil10Six is, evidently, a 'Vette fan, if this homage to his friend's C5 is anything to go by.

Get a step-by-step look at what the car's owner has put into his Corvette to turn it from a stock C5 into a 900HP Procharged beast. That's dedication!

Check out the car spinning its rear wheels on the dyno and then spinning - and heavily smoking - its rear wheels on the tarmac. Excellent burnout action!

Mustang Giugiaro Concept Burnout!



We have KingKnight to thank for this vid.

There's something rather disturbing about this video, maybe because it's just not something you see every day.

Concept cars are million dollar, or more, design and engineering exercises that, generally, are pushed onto a stage somewhere and left to look pretty under the lights. Or not, as is the case with this fantastic Giugiaro Mustang that was unveiled at the LA Auto Show 2 years ago.

Whoever is behind the wheel of this stunning design concept knows there's a serious motor hiding under the hood and isn't afraid to send all that power to the rear wheels. Is it just us or is that wall rather close for comfort.

The dude's got some big cojones to be doing a burnout in this car. Impressive man, very impressive!

NOPI Drift @ Lake Eerie Speedway

NOPI Drift @ Lake Eerie Speedway

If you're a fan of drifting, you're gonna love this slickly-edited video from CQeNS

Shot at Lake Eerie Speedway, it's the NOPI drifters doing what they do best: billowing smoke, laying down rubber and gliding sideways. We know it's damn hard to do, but they just make it look easy.

Great camera angles, too. See the action from just above and behind the rear-wheel, from the passenger seat and over the driver's shoulder.

These drivers take car control to the extreme. Check out the precision donuts and the 360 at high speed. We'll admit it, we're impressed. And was that a Honda Element drifting?!

Want to see how they drift in Eastern Europe? Check out Zeusz Drift Team 's video from Hungary.

Big Rig Donut

Big Rig Donut

If you enjoy laying down some rubber, you're going to appreciate this vid from prabhathgt32

If you're even remotely environmentally-conscious, however, you may want to avert your eyes. The black smoke billowing out of the stacks on this truck are reminiscent of a burning Amazonian rainforest.

Better to keep your eyes on the truck's wheels and marvel at the amounts of rubber getting laid down. Even better, the driver's doing a donut! In a 10-wheel big rig! Awesome skills, and the spectators certainly seem to like it.

Forest Burnout

Forest Burnout

I guess we should thank XtremeFilms for this video...but we're just not quite sure what to make of it. One thing's for sure though, where there's smoke, there's fire.

Perhaps life in Finland is a bit different or, at least, what goes for entertainment. Are they actually going to burn down the forest or simply set fire to various rear tires?

We'll be honest, we're confused. But, evidently, the attendees of Bomber Weekend in Pieksänmaa, Finland, are not. Get together, smoke a bunch of...rubber and have a damn good time doing it.

We wouldn't trade places with the dude trying to hold the rear wheel in place if you paid us, and we also reckon the rider's calves are now medium rare, but damn that rear tire sure lights up like a Christmas tree!

For an automotive burnout (with near crash) check out the Ol Skool Shelby GT500 video.

Corvette Street Burnout

Corvette Street Burnout

Brought to you by C6DVL

If cars were celebrities this is probably the best way to roll down the red carpet. Check out this superstar bad ass C6 LS3 Vette as the driver burns rubber for 17 seconds and is praised by flashing cameras. We really have to give it up to StreetFire member C6DVL because we cant get enough of his great videos! This past week alone two of C6DVL's video's were on our homepage. If you haven't already, take a look at his videos...we're pretty sure it'll get your adrenaline pumping. (Corvette Knight Ryder and Corvette Toy for Tot Run Part 1)

VIDEO: Skyline from Hell Burnout

Skyline from Hell Burnout

Brought to you by FASTM3COOL.

Okay this has to be one of the sweetest burnouts I have seen in a very long time. It's not exactly the longest clip but it's worth seeing every second. If you're a fan of white smoke coming off the back tires of a Skyline, then this is a video that you can't miss.

DBR9 Pit Stop Demostration











In this video you get to see how Aston Martin preforms a public simulation of a DBR9 pit stop a week before Petit Le Mans. The driver drives in at high speed and after the wheels are on does a burnout exit. Be sure to look at the other two videos of the DBR9 burnout and donut on AcornATL's profile page.






See Video. Video thanks to AcornATL.

Video: How to Flip Your BMW

View VideoBrought to you by blackoutKilla.

It's videos like this that make me concerned for today's youth. The lesson to be learned is not try showing off in front of your friends when you don't know what you're doing....oh and um I guess don't practice unsafe starts (burnouts). I had to put that in there.

Not your average Policeman

Wouldn't the world be a better place if all members of law enforcement were a little more like this guy? Okay, well maybe it wouldn't but a HEMI powered police car is a big improvement over the Crown Vic.
