not that i recommend it to someone with their first car but anyway....

At a stop, try putting the car in neutral and holding the revs to about 2000rpm, and then click the car into drive while still keeping it at 2000 rpm, as soon as you feel it engaging put your foot down more, and you'll be single spinning your way down the road.

Yeah, definitely don't put it into neutral, rev and spin....That's how I screwed my gearbox.

At the end of the day, I've learned my lesson for trying to do wheel spins and drifting and what not. BUT IF YOU MUST!!!!....just use launch control. Brakes, Rev, let go of brakes and off you go :)

Safe driving now....enjoy!

Yeah definitely don't rev it in neutral then whack it into gear. you'll #### your gear box, and hence kill your baby..
