I christened my Spyder's 600mi anniversary with a few hard twists of the right hand.
Yes. I'm a hooligan at heart. :doorag:
Yes. I wasn't going to buy an SE5 Spyder without proof that it would spin the rear tire. Thanks YouTube, even if the videos show some real inept attempts. :thumbup:
Yes. 20'+ rolling burnouts without any brake are easy from a dead stop.
hyea:
Yes. Unlimited burnouts seem possible with a little brake action. :clap:
Yes. It's expensive smoke.:yes:
Yes. If I bitch about tire costs or wear you all have permission to soundly flame me.:roflblack:
Yes. It made me happy.:yes:
No. I didn't manage to do a static burnout without roll-out. I've been mechanically insensitive enough for the day. :shocked:
Now for the informative bits:

Now for the informative bits:
- From a dead stop, a quick application of wide open throttle creates a tiny bit of roll-out and then spins the tire up quickly on reasonably high-traction surfaces.
- I was surprised at the amount of steering angle the Spyder allowed me to put in to keep the rolling burnouts straight. I didn't trigger the nanny for steering angle AFAIK.
- It seems that if you're rolling at all, the throttle by wire steps in and prevents the aggressive application of throttle angle.
- The rear tire quickly follows the grade of the road, so a flat surface (surprise) results in the most rewarding spins.
- The brake pedal has limited feel, so trying to do a brake stand is difficult since you don't innately know how much pressure you need to hold the Spyder in place.
