Carnage - No More Burnouts For Supermang!

After our burnout session at Lardner Park with Supermang we reckon we'[re done with burnouts... but what you you guys say? Should we build a dedicated burnout car?
Street Machine Carnage is all about having fun with cars. Sometimes it's serious performance, sometimes it's crazy fun, but it always interesting and done on a budget.

To me, burnouts are something you did when you were 17-18 and thrashing your first car (or dads car). Going fast is a much more noble pursuit, and it never gets old 😂

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I kinda agree with you there

[@ChristopherHallett]

Yep, burnouts are for boys, racing is for men.

[@351tgv]

@@STREETMACHINETV - I had access to my parents VN Series I way back in 1989, the amount of rear tyres it went through, my parents were not happy, then I got my own car in 1994 and what did my dad do? pay back ...

[@crashdiet1518]

It was nice seeing Supermang at the burnouts because it has a period-correct engine as its base and you had the proper axles on. Reminds me of the days at Summernats when real street machines were in the burnout comp and producing heaps of smoke required skill, not these unregisterable custom built things with supercharged LSes running on methanol, shortened axles and no rear brakes (OK, you did the latter). Stick to speed!

[@The_Performance_Laboratory]

On my drag race cars, I paint the quarters, tailpipes, etc. with WD40 ahead of time so less rubber sticks. For the rubber that does stick, I've found Bug and Tar remover works really well.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Thanks for the tip

[@chasroberts3613]

Would that hurt the top coat or leave chemical stains if left on too long? Or you haven't had any issues?

[@The_Performance_Laboratory]

@@chasroberts3613 I haven't had any issues yet. A good coat of wax is probably a good idea too.

[@fnp865]

Volvo burnout car... yes. Maybe with a supercharged Barra just to be different, there's too many LS burnout cars and they're boring. Supercharged because turbo Barras have been done to death as well.

[@mahcooharper9577]

Is a shame to have damaged it, good that you're going to sort out the paint. It did sound amazing but not worth trashing a clean VN Berlina cos they're pretty rare now. Dedicated burnout car would be a cool project, would diversify the channel since they're pretty much all just drag cars atm

[@thackleberry]

Love your work Scotty, I love burnouts, I’d been keen but understand your hesitation, it is full on! As long as you keep workin on cars I’m happy

[@Josh_Wilson]

credit to you though being a nice car I thought you might have got it on belts then came off but you went full send which is what this channel is all about, I love it 🤘

[@vncalais304]

I love all the drag content cause that’s where it’s at but I would still like to see a budget burnout car, maybe a hilux Ute with a little v6 or rb or sr, maybe something you can skid and drift.

[@NotLikeThat420]

Awesome work Scotty!!! Out there having a crack!!!

[@Jay-th9vi]

The tyre slap on the paint and the back bumper that is all character

[@loganleatham7960]

Prep solution is your friend getting rubber off paint without damaging it Scotty…has done a treat getting off the rear guards on the Challenger occasionally…

[@tomofthejungle9991]

Great effort Scotty. Completely agree with you, the VN is too nice of a car to destroy by repeatedly entering it into burnout comps and your idea of the Volvo burnout car is pretty cool. There's one in the shed you could re-purpose and then stick the JZ setup into something else, like the VN or the lexcen... Or even the torana 👌 Cheers

[@inspectorgadgetman]

The Volvo would make a very cool burnout car

[@joeljoel6236]

Nice work Scotty 🤙 I’m happy you decided to do a proper rebuild on the mang and not just a rings & bearings slap up in the end. Blueprinting is absolutely critical on any performance engine and the results speak for themselves. Well done mate , I’m sure there’s been many viewers who have learned a lot of new things from the recent rebuilds you’ve done.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Actually this was my version of slapping one together

[@chevelle5014]

Ahh well perfect time to give the back bumper a respray

[@kenny1034]

Definitely leave Supermang for the track, would be awesome to see it setup to run 10s. I reckon one of the 96/97 Volvo wagons with the B5234T4 engine, you could easily make 300hp at the wheels with some modifications for some good burnout fun!

[@bunning63]

Agree, cars 2 nice. Others will think otherwise but can't personally see why you would intentionally damage a nice car(s). Like you have indicated, possibilities of a future build. Over here in NZ we are seeing BA & BF Falcons being written off it seems daily, and some have been pretty nice cars not long ago. Still see a few nice original AUs around that have survived.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Yeah, I had my FG written off (really nice G6E turbo too - god I miss it!), then my niece wrote off her mums BA, then her friend wrote off her dads BF all in a matter of a couple of months. All these cars are now at the point where they will start to disappear very rapidly simply due to people still using them as dailies & the number of numpties on the road.

[@bunning63]

@@Beer_Dad1975 Bought a 92k BF2 late last year over in NZ. Kinda thought at the rate they're going down it was now or maybe never. At least the values going up, not that I'm selling it. Sorry about your FG mate.

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

Shit hot Scotty love being able to watch when dropped public holiday styles!!! Gotta get the Turbo Wagoon going the suspense is killing me 🤣👍🍻

[@scotthunter1639]

Would be great to see you guy's involved in the burnout scene, Scotty.. The (Supermang) has such a unique sound mate,a sound like no other mate.. The mighty Vn is a very tidy ride mate. Volvo would be pretty cool or something a little smaller 👍👌

[@ryanjackson8285]

Scotty! You can run any car doesn't have to be steel bumper. All you need is to run a shortened diff and big thick tubs. Youl never have to wory about any pannel/paint damage, and when the tyre lets go it self wire brushes the tubs/rubber for you 👌 will be good to see a dedicated carnage skidcar

[@kennethsmith3260]

Yeah, although I love a good burnout (especially a Holden) I would try to protect that commodore the best I could. They are rare to find in good condition and that one was very low k's as well. People are talking about the Volvo being a burnout car but I'd prefer the Torana as a burnout car, all steel and a classic running a blown 202.. they pump hard and sound awesome .

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Non removable front panels make the Torana a bad choice. If you crash it'll cost a fortune to fix

[@CliffB5A4]

You should've sprayed the WD40 in the wheel wells and on the paint before doing the burnout haha. I fully agree with the Volvo burnout car, my dad drives 240's and owns a yard full of them and they are tanks. All models come standard with the big diff too. 👍

[@jaredrule1431]

Go the dedicated burnout car!!!! I thought you did really well Scotty. Feel your pain on the clean up job after a good skid, it’s no fun. With a dedicated burnout car you don’t need to worry about that. Volvo with a turbod LS sounds like a good idea!

[@SHOCKcustoms]

Tubbed vn might help the wheel slap? Would love to see the vn built to be an all purpose drag burnout top end build car with rat paint. Some episodes on rebuilding the suspension front to back interior cleaning etc. Building a do all streeter will be awesome. Love your work Scotty. Cheers

[@aussieoutdoorcustoms]

I agree with you scotty, The vn is way to nice a car to be slapping the rear quarters up. Would be nice to see a cool dedicated burnouts car on the carnage show some time. Love the videos scotty keep them up👍

[@brendannunya77]

It’s just a car, who cares. It’s just a car....

[@thestreetbikecowboy]

Back in the late 90’s there was a bloke at Newcastle speedway that had a sky blue volvo 240 with a 350 chev as a burnout car. It was hilarious and put on a good skid.

[@nopadelik9286]

😄... honestly, i love this video sooo much ! I always wonder what's that weird "adulthood" some people keep on talking about, i think right here Scotty dedicated a whole video on that topic .. so, adulting obviously means a.) better preparations regarding flying hot rubber masses - and b.) thinking again about doing burnout stuff with "a good car", which Supermang for sure is ^^,

[@Beer_Dad1975]

I have to say I usually have too much mechanical sympathy for burnouts - but after seeing Scotty's last video, I did a sneaky on a deserted back country road... and yeah, it brings out the kid in you for sure 🙂 Course now I've got to buff all the rubber off 😞

[@jarrodvhcommodore89]

I remember last year I owned such a clean xf. I always said the same. Being a Ford. Why not... Anyways I regret cutting the rears and letting loose Al the time lol

[@7071t6]

Scotty mate you know the trolvo did the same thing, meaning the voltage drop due to the hi revs, so maybe, next time make sure you have a hi revving type alternator and everything to do with a burn out type issues are sorted, like coolant, overflow and especially making sure you have the right cap on, new cap and new hoses, cheers keep up the great work mate. 🚗🚗😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍

[@seanb250]

I enjoy watching a couple of good burnouts but certainly not enough to go to a dedicated event for them, I was really happy to not hear the “mang mang mang” from supermang, great throttle control and mature decisions to get out of it when things weren’t going 100% 👍

[@motoxray]

Probably get slammed here, but I can't see the point in the whole burnout scene. I understand that there is much more skill involved, for example, than many people realise, & all credit to that. Just doesn't do it for me. However, there's probably a lot of followers here who would love to see a dedicated burnout car, so, got to go with the flow, I guess 😁 Anyhoo, I thought you did a top job, kudos to you & the boys for that... Cheers.

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

Burnouts are awesome, no doubt, but I gotta say, with so many projects on the go, stick with getting the other cars going to their max potential first. I do like the idea of a Volvo burnout car though

[@jimclarke1108]

You done a great job with in commodore with the burnouts, i think its a matter of time before some authority puts a stop to the amount of rubber people are breathing in, (a wasted sport)

[@jamesbaylis9438]

For ur first time in 15 years, you did well to keep her straight and true. Maybe when u upgrade to the 4.3 stroker, put the L67 aside for possibly a future burnout build. It's proven it's worth, but that can be down the track as you've got enough on ur plate already. 🤣🤣👌

[@scottytonkin-dz2ni]

Think you need to do a burnout build for us rev heads like watching you do a skid was very interesting 🙏 reckon most of us followers love a good burnout keep up the good work mate hope to see you fry more tires in the future ✌️

[@its_tricky_dick]

Thats why I swapped to drifting, it's burnouts at high speed without the goal of blowing the tyres. way nicer on vehicles than burnouts, way more track time and way cheaper in the long run. Would be good to see supermang do a drift day

[@mickc8738]

Not that fussed on the burnout car scotty , I'd rather see the 1uz wagon get finished. Don't mind the skids sometimes and I've been to summernats but I'd honestly rather see drag or even a grip cars on the channel. If you did a burnout car it would have to be a methanol drinking blower car for me to be pumped about it👍

[@STREETMACHINETV]

And that's basically why we haven't done one. I blown injected methanol engine would be about 60-80k. The trans, diff, etc. 150k later...

[@mickc8738]

@STREETMACHINETV yeah exactly👍 I love watching you get on the spanners and build up the older aussie cars then hit the dyno and the strip🤟 a decent burnout car car is a career in itself really hey. Keep up the good work Scotty I'll still be watching mate

[@gavinb9627]

Personally, leave the smoke and rubber fires to the kids. Lets see some 10s. Getting Uncle Ben happening would be a better use of resources too. Your body language said it all too. A gen 3 in the banana might work though.

[@antonjimmy5636]

If you do build a dedicated burnout car, narrow the diff and mini tubb it with 3mm plate for tubs. Filling the rear quarters behind the wheels with concrete helps too. Look at Lynchy and Mick Brashers Corollas the next time you can. The narrow diff keeps the tyre wires contained in the tubbs

[@dragpix]

belt cutters work good too, slightly sharpened angle iron on the back side of the tub stops the belts destroying everything

[@markpudovkin1]

Yea Scotty great idea with the 240 burnout car would be head turner for sure at burnout comps especially with an bogan /ghetto turbo intech setup

[@bradphillips4634]

Proved the supermang can do a burnout Scotty, but you're right it's to nice a car to be doing it with. I learnt the hard way with my car doing a gender reveal (pink) lol. Keep the vn on the drag strip 👌wanna see a 11 without nitrous! And build a budget burnout car in true carnage style!

[@DoctorWEBB]

Just need more skids to help clean that rubber off. Steel belts do a wonderful job like a giant hot mechanical wire brush. If you lower the arse end the square arches will save the Qtrs. My little bro T Web has been doing these skid events for over a decade. Wingen6 is still alive and even road going. They are strong engines. A safe Tune is the key. Tom's radiator popped so hard it damaged the rail in spectacular fashion! The high k T5 gearbox finally let go after a decade of heavy abuse. Luckily he had a new spare and some mates to help swap it out & continue motorfest.

[@MarkManson14]

[@bvward]

Scott, I've never understood the rationale of burnouts... To me, about as interesting as skipping flat rocks on a pond. Drifting is a bit better. I prefer rally cars on gravel and snow.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Love rally, but I'm too old and slow for that

[@knight2425]

I never understood the burnout thing myself either, take a good car and thrash the crap out of it while damaging it in the process and even though there is some skill involved it’s pretty much hold the brake pedal and mash the gas while giving some steering every now and then, boooooooooring

[@piffiiiiiiit]

Never understood drifting either. Give me circuit and drag racing...and Group B rally.

[@stupidfalcon7837]

That’s the beauty of being car people, you don’t have to get it, but its same passion just expressed a different way

[@ytthecommunistplatform.2675]

Yeah mate just like some guys like big fat women . If you have never done it you have no idea . Its just like shooting . People who have never done it dont know why people do it . Because its fun .

[@Luluthevs]

would love to see a dedicated burnout car scotty. poor old vn done a good skid but its to clean to do it again. mate i would say 80s commdore with a 5.7 if your doing a burnout car. or a stroked 355 in something small.

[@nathenwayenberg5939]

I’m keen to see u guys do a skid car or maybe try drifting or something, idk but keen to see some other cars in the shed than drap haha good work keep it up

Sounds good in theory, but every time we do something other than drag racing, it doesn't get alot of views

[@thomascouzner7285]

Keep carnage for the straight line action. But definitely build a cheap falcon 6! Some are almost bullet proof and they can be very affordable to maintain

[@almstlegalgarage]

Yes to a dedicated burnout car on the channel! Maybe a Volvo with supermangs engine to keep the unique sound when the stroker engine goes in the vn

[@lukeya1983]

Yes the car was way to good for burnouts. Great idea to build a burnout car. I believe it should be a little car Corolla , escort , gemini Datsun

[@raelock598]

Look into the future after all the builds are complete possibly yous could build a burnout car ie that Torana yous have sitting around or something along those lines

[@tony66au]

I reckon you are on to something Scotty :-) A Volvo 140 (Same shit, older bucket) Burnout car with the alloy bumpers (73/74 model year) would be hilarious ! Way less plastic, same quality steel and an overall simpler car to gut and re engine, Cheaper to buy too.

[@mydogzty]

Do some tests with burnouts. Different sized tyres and wheels, old or new, more power or less or higher gears? A bunch of fun things to explain and explore.

[@dizzyborden3618]

Totally agree with you Scotty, SuperMang is too good to keep doing burnouts. A Volvo Burnout car is a Great idea 👍,❤'n the Carnage. HUGE Thanks Scotty.

[@andrewntoth1]

One of the rare vn's that had dodged having tyre slap ... until now 😅 . IF you were going to build a burnout car , it'd have to be something rather left field like a 316 bmw with the 4.4 out of an x5/540 or similar 🤐 , I vote you build the 316 now 😅 just because you can!

[@williamhardes8081]

i remember spending many Sunday afternoons scraping rubber off the car from the weekends "activities"!

[@MrDOHC1JZ]

69 degree intake in a burnout. Jeez that’s alright. My 355 with the stock banana manifold was 90c while full throttle and doing 100kph.

[@dinosshed]

The Burnout is a thrilling experience, mainly due to the consequences involved, the potential failure of not being good at it, car failing you, etc. Thrashing something is a great way to let out the built-up frustration that is life and the sound of an engine at full noise whilst going sideways is always fun. I'd buy a tray back ute and enter the six cylinder class, no problems with messing up paint and body, pluss there's a good chance of taking out the trophy in class. No need to spend huge coin on a blown methanol v8 either.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

The data logging available is super impressive! I definitely think a dedicated burnout hack is the way to go, Supermang is too straight and tidy, IMO.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Data logging is amazing, and this is just an old platinum series ECU

[@ryanherbert9167]

Maybe the torana and hemi combo as a skid car would be sick

[@bigal878]

Good job Scotty. I say fix the Supermang and keep it as a Street/Strip car.

I reckon a good idea would be to have some hard plastic one piece inner wheel well, outer guard thing that you could just bolt in to protect everything.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Not sure plastic would be enough. Many burnout guys use steel

[@madvids100]

I’ve seen belts bend 3mm steel tubs, plastic will never survive

[@danozism]

Sad to see Supermang a bit... manged! Nothing that can't be fixed though, obviously. A bit of sponser hunting there, Scotty? hehe.

There seems to be two different camps in the burnout world… the ones that are just out banging tyres and having fun, not caring too much if they take home a trophy or not. then there’s the hardcore bunch, spending tens-if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on zero compromise vehicles and only want that winners cheque or the Masters title.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Why wouldn't you just use the Barra engine for the extra capacity. Better engine than a 202
