what's up everybody
It's Justin and today I'm out driving my
2017 BRZ trying to buy a side
street or road off-the-beaten-path
here out in the middle of nowhere because
I want to find out if the 2017 BRZ
is capable of doing burnouts
and generating a little bit of smoke off the tires
so there are a few things that are gonna make this burnout challenge
a little bit difficult
the first thing is this is a BRZ after all
they don't have much power to begin with
the second thing is being that i am in denver
I'm over a mile above sea level so the cars even have
less power than they would normally the
third thing is I still on my bridgestone
RE71R autocross race tires
they are pretty much beyond their life
not much grip left them at all but
either way my expectations aren't too high
for the burn-out challenge we'll see what
we can do hopefully we can get some smoke
out of the tires and make an interesting video
alright so i finally found a spot out
here in the middle of nowhere old side
street they do some burnouts with the
2017 brz and kind of show you guys what
this thing can do
alright burnout challenge attempt number
one with emphasis on the word attempts
but let's do this i'm going to read this
thing up to about 7,000 rpms so floor
and drop the clutch and see what we get
alright so i think we got some smoke i
might have shifted into second gear a
little too soon let's take a closer look
tires spin and I see smoke I see smoke a
little more smoke shifted in two seconds
and probably petered out to burn out at
that point car was starting to get grip
real fast with those good tires on the
car but nonetheless I think a very tiny
success let's take a closer closer look
after rear quarter panel here and see
what it looks like
so I think this viewpoint will confirm
it for us in slow motion as we get
rolling here tires spin and slow motion
kicking in we can see the smoke and
wallet is clearly pretty pretty pathetic
from a burnout standpoint it was able to
generate some smoke so i'll call it a
success
throw one more attempt up here for you
real quick
which turns out to be more or less the
same as the previous one that I showed
you hit up in slow motion here again I
ended up doing about half a dozen
burnouts trying different techniques but
pretty much for the most part they all
turned out about the same get that side
view again here now you know what i
think i'm going to do this burnout
challenge again here in the near future
except without the sticky Bridgestone's
and i'll go with the stock tires that
actually came with the car instead
with the narrower stock tires that
should give us a little more respectable
burnout in the brz
alright so there you have it burnout in
the 2017 subaru brz not too impressive
will say so myself
the cars with low on power as it is and
up here at the Denver mile high altitude
day or even less powerful so this kind
of thing becomes even more complicated
and more difficult to pull off so i hope
you enjoyed the video thanks again for
watching if you have any thoughts or
comments please leave them below will
talk to you guys later
