Very cool... gotta show my kids that! They are always after me to do a burnout like that. I can't seem to get her to do it though. Just a nice little burnout when I punch if from a light or stop sign!

to get a burnout like that you have to step on the brake and then floor the gas pedal.

The engine will overcome the rear brakes and the tire(s) will spin. Ease up on the brakes and the car will begin to move forward.

If you have the room you can turn the wheel after the car begins to move and the back end will spin you around.

I know how to do it John, just can't seem to get the tires to break loose. The front end lifts up (typical), she revs up nice and high, but the tires won't break. When I release the brakes a bit, she simply lunges forward. I do have wider tires than stock on there, but she's got enough hp's to break them loose. I just think the miles are taking their toll on her and she's not into the "go fast" mode anymore...So I've gone back to babying her. I am sure I'll be rebuilding this thing before too long, but want to nurse as much as I can till that happens. 119,000 miles and still going.

Yeah, I can't break the tires loose either. I have 235/70's and positraction. It's more than my 350 can handle in it's current form.

I had the engine rebuilt at 200,000 miles but I used a single plane intake (it was the only one I could find). I also used too much cam. For my driving habits I need the RV cam.

Now that the body work is done I'll be saving my pennies for an engine refresh. I have a lot more information from boards like this and V8 Buick.
