Remember those videos of my friends 04 Interceptor ? Well we got some cheap old crappy tires and put them on his car, we have videos but he hasn't uploaded them yet so I'll show you some screenshots.   Funny ones, guy in the open flannel was hung over...    Smoke lingered for a while.  Friends truck,  -------------

So he didn't have to use his brakes, otherwise they would really heat up. Plus concrete smokes better.

| I may be a noob but why would his brakes heat up if he just maintaining the stopped position? Theres no friction that is being dampened by the brake pads, since the tires werent rotating in the first place. |

You'd have to break torque it otherwise. So basically, push in the brake, then the gas at same time slowly let off the brake until the wheels spin, keep the brake held down enough to the point where the tires spin and you don't move.

| Couldn't he just do a traditional brakestand? Clutch in, give it gas, then let go of clutch and slam on the brakes while giving it more gas? (I assume you know that, some may not) |

Gas + brake at same time = wear on the brakes. And that car is an automatic so he can't dump the clutch.

| Well yeah, but I don't think they'd heat up? They'd have forward pressure on them from the wheel trying to rotate, but theres no friction. Also, lol automatic. What did he pay for the cruiser btw? |

Front brakes are fine. Rear brakes would heat up something fierce after awhile.

How is there no friction? The tires are moving forward, but the breaks are stopping the car from going forward. That is a massive amount of friction. |

Everyone except Choop is right. But that doesn't mean I love him less. I've wanted to do an Interceptor project... but the fact that it was both automatic and Ford really turned me off from it. Glad to see you're having fun with it, though. |

Choopie, there is still the brake shoes pushing up against the drums, just not enough for them to keep the tires from not spinning. When you press on the brakes there is pressure going to the front pads and rear shoes/pads. ------------- |

A bunch of guys get together for the sole purpose of doing "burnouts" in a Crown Vic and a pickup, and it was the shirtless guy that sent you over the top on the redneck scale? ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

| Yeah I'm not claiming to be right by any means, these are all just questions I've got, not trying to say you're wrong. I know theres pressure still on the brakes, however since the front wheels were not in motion, and are merely being held that way, why is there friction? Two objects are pressed against another with no movement. Movement would cause heat/ friction wouldnt it? |

Front brakes = pressure only = possible minor slippage = minimal heat. Rear brakes = friction = heat. -------------

Cars have four brakes (most of the time)
The front brakes do most of the work The brake lines all come out of one pump through a proportioning valve Even though the front wheels are stopped and the rear wheels have broken free, the rear brakes are still dragging. The rear brakes will start to drag less (if they are drums) as the heat builds up and the drums expand (brake fade) gas+brake*yeehaa=smoke ------------- My shoes of peace have steel toes. |

Teenagers around here think it's cool to do burnouts in the high school parking lot right down the road from my house, so I hadn't really considered how weird it was for adults to do so. But you make a good point. |

The front brakes will not heat up during a burn out. He was originally talking about the rear brakes heating up. The front wheels are staying still. The rear wheels are turning at a high rpm with some friction on them from the brake peddle being pushed down to keep the car from moving. The front brakes are holding the car while the torque of the car is too much for the rear brakes to handle so the rear wheels spin. The front brakes have enough friction on them to keep the car from moving forward. ------------- |

Front brakes are locked and stay still. The produce no heat since they are not moving. The back brakes are applied but the torque from the engine over powers the rear brakes causing it to slip and the rear tires spin. Heres something you can do as an experiment. Grab a 500 ml plastic bottle. Make a C with your index finger and thumb. place the bottle in the C and close your fingers lightly on the bottle. Now with your free hand spin the bottle. That will create the same friction as the back brakes of the car when its doing a burn out. Now increase the pressure on the bottle to the point where you cant rotate the bottle, that would represent the action of the front brake. Keeps the car from moving while the less powerful rear brakes are being over powered by the HP and torque coming from the engine causing the rear tires to spin. I must say I'm a little surprised at chewps level of knowledge here. Figured you would be a little more knowledgeable. ------------- |

Of course there is still friction. There is always friction between two touching objects. I dropped out of Physics 1 and even I know that. :) |

| Automotives are clearly not my area, but yeah I get it now I was just thinking he was talking about his front brakes alone, thus why I was confused about him talking about friction, etc. |

It's a good smell until you have to hide it lol. you don't even know what we went through trying to cover up that smell, theres still a faint smell.

Tell your friend to put a buddy bar on it. That would be the epitome of having an interceptor. |

The guy he bought it from had two for sale, originally we went to look at a blue one that had a full wrap around push bar.
