Yep, stock S60. I sort of powerbraked, it's a modified technique for FWD cars. SEe when you powerbrake a rwd you can feather the brakes to allow the fronts to keep the car in place, while keeping enough pressure of the backs to allow them to spin (ie see picture of my firebird). But with FWD what I've found that works well, and this is as far as I know the only way to do a burnout on a fwd auto is to set the hand brake as hard as you can, which locks the rear wheels, then powerbrake the motor to the stall speed on the convertor. Mine didn't have enough power to break past the stall speed so I just let the break off and mashed the pedal. Once it started to spin, I feathered the throttle to keep it not only in 1st gear, but to really smoke them with out over coming the power of my hand brake.

While this is not the nicest thing to do to a new car, once won't kill it.

Thanks again,
Doug
