It's not a burnout. The rear tires aren't blurred in the picture. Startup.

it could have easily been taking after they stoped. however it was posted about 2 weeks ago and the guy stated that it was from starting it... after filling it with ATF and pulling it behind a car to get it started.

startup - although I've seen them start like that without atf. What does everyone mean by this, do people put atf in their oil or something for cleaning purposes..

Look like the good old ATF

Im not sure how you use atf, but if I am not mistaken you spray it through the intake at some point. Breaks up all the carbon n **** left inside of the engine. End result is that pic.

The ATF trick (I have yet to decide if it is actually beneficial LONG TERM) involves pouring Automatic Transmission Fluid into the spark plug holes and allowing it to sit for 24 hours. This in theory eats away at the carbon that tries to destroy our engines, but what else does it eat away at?

The "ATF trick" is evil. Don't do it.

I don't see any Oil slicks under the Rear Wheels. Besides, that looks simular to when I did the ATF trick. Only It was In an underground basement. Holy smokes!

sure looks like my TurboII when I used ATF to start it.. and the fact that the door is open suggests a burnout is not going on.

Isn't burnout smoke a tad darker? Looks like he started it, backed up into his tailpipe smoke and is about to get out of the car to be able to breathe!
