Don't the guys that like to do this have a separate brake that only works on the front brakes making it easier to do?............ $:-\$ $:-\$

Many RWD cars will do this if the surface is slippery enough, something we used to do playing in the snow in our old Cortinas / Escorts etc years ago.....

Merely passable

At 593bhp/ton, it should bloody well be spectacular

Yes, but he's hardly using much power to keep it going round.

Here, on the other hand...

Oh, No. He was doing something far worse than that. In one of these:

Don't try it. Did it on the snow a couple of years back and broke my ps pump

Not sure how you managed that

Bouncing off the rev limiter with the steering held on full lock doesn't do the PAS pump any favours, I would imagine.

Here's a passable example:

Exactly that plus I think the pump was on there from new

You only need a line-lock if you want to do a standing burnout (so, generally, only drag cars) - if you tried to use one for a donut you'd lock both the inside front (largely stationary) and outside front (needs to rotate to scribe a circle) wheels and ... you'd do a burnout instead.

(It's not a separate brake, usually, just a valve in the hydraulic line to the front brakes that means you can 'lock' the pressure in the line and take your foot off the brakes to release the rear brakes completely. Usually you can get away with just feathering the brakes and relying on brake bias to do the same thing.)

Ahh, yes. Line locks...

EDIT: You look a bit of a berk if it's in neutral.
