Well my mates brothers BA XR6 can't seem to do burnouts. Can anyone tell me what is going on here as I was very disappointed to find this out? Isn't the XR6 supposed to be some kind of sports sedan? I would have expected loss of traction at a bleep of the throttle. Anyway I think I will stick to my good old Fairlane.

you arent trying hard enough !!! and turn the traction control off !!!!!! LOL

Remember that the BA XR6 has no power over the base XT model. It has the kit, interior and a few little things like LSD but it isnt that much more powerful.

EFFalcon

does have a higher ratio diff though... which should make a difference.
I agree with the above, not trying hard enough :)

Firstly I would ask if the traction is off or not.

Depends if it has the 18's... I remember my mate saying he couldn't rip one in his dads ba n/a ute with 18s...

Dad's ED auto could do a burnout. All you have to do is foot on the brake, floor it. She'll soon break out with smoke, otherwise there is something seriously wrong.

I need new tyres after 30K. my XT will burn out.. ok a small one, but enuff to make me smile.
But it wouldnt burn out for the frist 10,000 k or so

Might have something to do with the electronic throttle meaning you can't over-rev it and then dump the clutch, or it might have something to do with the fact that the Falcon is a fat arsed cow that weighs a fair bit and doesn't have hole-shot gearing like dunnydores do.

Also, your mate's brother could just be a really shit driver who can't do burn-outs properly

Don't the N/A XR6's have a 3.45 single spinner as standard and a LSD as an option? And if it has traction control then it won't have an LSD as you cant have both. If it can't bag up a single spinner then I suspect the owner can't drive.
