you should be able to smoke the tyres by stomping on the throttle, more difficult with the smaller engined cars of course, but still possible

Boxster's are not burnout friendly and definately not Tip boxsters with 2.5L engines. The boxster has a bad tendency to "wheel hop" or others call it axle tramp. If I slip the clutch and use the gas aliittle to aggressively the back end will bounce like no other. This isn't good for the car and should be avoided. However, when I am just cruising about 15-20mph and just step on it hard the back tires lose traction and step out a bit which is a cool feeling. The car can also do donuts well. I just keep it in first and turn the wheel a bit(open parking lot recammended) and give it alot of gas. A lot of tire smoking fun then begins! Of couse, this is much easier to do with a manual and alittle more power. have fun.

With a tip, you can put the car in drive, put your foot on the brake pedal and run the engine up to say 2500 RPMs.

Then let off the brake and hammer the gas.

That MIGHT get a peel.

The real question is, why?

If you want to peel rubber, get an older 5.0 ltr mustang and whale the hell out of it.
