Nononono its not I can promise you. If it were me I would say it there is no shame in learning to do something new if one can't do it already no matter how newb it may sound. My friend is a good driver he has just never done this before on a 5 speed so he needs a little nudge in the right direction.
BTW that white minivan looking thing is my parents Mercedes-Benz ML320 I hate that gay ass car. Its like a minivan pretending to be an SUV.
Thanks for the kind words guys I appreciate it.
I figured so just wanted to make sure if it wasn't so you didn't have the wrong idea in your head. 
hey this will sound gay, and i know its a lil late for this thread. my friend has a 02 4 wheel drive chevy, and when hes in the mud with it, and tring to spin his tires his abs will go crazy. he dosnt have traction cont either, aint on the truck at all. think it could be somethin like that? btw, its got a 6.0l so its got some balls. just a thought.

He is a good driver he can really bang through those gears for having a stock shifter. I just have never really worked much with newer cars so I didn't know if there was any kind of computer related issue that could cause it so I wanted to make sure, if anything I'll race it for him.
Is your friend using street tires? I was taught #1 rule when racing is to steer clear of the water box with street tires. Drive around it and warm the tires slightly to clean off the junk. If you load up street tires with water you never sling it all off so when you stage, the water finds it way to the track and you spin in it. Drag radials are a different story because they have barely any tread depth.

Have him drive around the water box, drop the clutch at 4 grand, spin em up for a couple of seconds and stage. Leave on the last yellow and the rest is up to him!
This would in no way make it HARDER to do a burnout...if anything it would make it easier....thats what the box is there for. I think he revs it to the right rpm (which in neutral takes very little throttle) and when he dumps the clutch, doesnt increase the amount of throttle, causing the car to stall. Just tell his to rev to 4-5k dump the clutch and floor it. dont even bother with the brakes until he can brake the tires loose.Big Steve said:
no offence, but i just dont understand how you cant figure out how to break the tires loose in a car with horrible traction like a mustang. its not rocket science.
