Power Braking?
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?

Do not power brake a FWD car! Use the E-Brake.

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.
