Probably because you either:

1) Left the VDC/TCS on

2) Are not revving it high enough before dropping the clutch to break the tires loose.

Turn the VDC/TCS off and rev to 4K or more and drop the clutch. You may have problems with wheel hop though. Don't do this on the street unless you are under 18.

Brake lights kill the throttle. Pull the brake light fuse.

However if you're at the drag strip with stock tires, you're wasting your time trying to do a burnout. Plus we have independent rear suspension.

Wheel hop + IRS = Bad

your original post makes no sense. but generally you want to know how to do a burn out... as you know, you need to hold the brake or youll just take off. when the brake is pushed, the brake lights are on. when the lights are on it limits the engine throttle to 30%. by pulling the fuse, lights dont go on, throttle isnt limited.

none the less, you are not driving on drag radials, nor do you have an LSD, till you have both of those, burnouts are nothing but a waste of money and unnescessary stress on the car. unless your under 18.

throttle, sidestep clutch, hit the brake with the clutch foot. heel toe can help.

linelock is best if you plan to do this repeatedly. otherwise your braking to hold your front wheels in place. which will hold you still, but your back brakes are still spinning; kills your brakes and rotors. linelock holds the fluid pressure in the front.

This is a joke...........so don't take me seriously....especially if you're not from the U.S.

but some words of wisdom for you,

Before you mod your car, invest in yourself and take a spelling/grammar class or computer typing class. I can barely understand your posts.
