View Full Version : Power Braking? TXRLU 11-30-2005, 08:24 PM Yes I know its very abusive to the cars, but I just wondered if anyone has any tips on doing this. I'd like to see if anyone can get the type of smokey results that they did below? http://sportcompactcarweb.com/roadtests/0405scc_redline02_z.jpg undrgrndcobalt 11-30-2005, 08:26 PM Can you power brake a FWD car... i thought that was what the e-brake and a high rev launch was for/// Cobalt_Supercharged 11-30-2005, 08:28 PM Do not power brake a FWD car! Use the E-Brake. Cobalt_Supercharged 11-30-2005, 08:31 PM Power braking works only on RWD vehicles, because the rear brakes don't grab as hard as the rear. It still wears the rear brakes. If you did it w/ a FWD car you will most likely not get it to work, and if it did it would actually hinder more than help. Not to mention put a lot of strain on the drivetrain, and thrash your brakes. undrgrndcobalt 11-30-2005, 08:40 PM a burn out like that puts a lot of strain on the car anyways, why hurt a NEW car... hatrickstu 11-30-2005, 08:50 PM a burn out like that puts a lot of strain on the car anyways, why hurt a NEW car... cuz thats bad ass thats why!!! haha Cobalt_Supercharged 11-30-2005, 08:55 PM a burn out like that puts a lot of strain on the car anyways, why hurt a NEW car...
