1. Anything a muscle car can do and a ricer can not. (i.e. climbing a hill steeper than a 15 degree incline.)
2. Slamming the gas pedal to the floor when not in motion, causing the tires to spin without traction, making smoke. This is something that mainly only Muscle Cars can do, caused by the mass amount of torque put out by the big cubes of muscle car engines.
3. Someone who wears Def Leppard wife beaters and smokes cigs while driving in his Camaro, listening to AC/DC.
1. Man, I put up 450 ft/lbs on my trans am, thats a burnout.
2. A ricer beat me at the drag strip because he had a ten second head start because my burnout took so long, for once, torque has let me down.
3. Dude, I saw this burner drivin' this boss Camaro, man that thing was hooked up.
Something stupid people do with their cars to impress equally stupid people. Its main component, wheelspin, is accomplishable with any automobile, but perhaps it takes a slightly powerful/upgraded machine to sustain it, creating the smoke desired it. No practical purpose other than to waste tire tread and possibly blow the tires. Muscle car enthusiasts strive to achieve this effect at starts of drag races for no real reason.
"CHECK OUT THIS BURNOUT ON M' '29 'VETTE 'EAAAAAAAAH! AMERCAN MUSCLE FOR LIFE! Who would ever need more than 4 gears anyway?"
The only real, at least half-good American sports car is the Corvette.
a highschool student who doesn't really fit in anywhere. not necessarily an outcast, but definitely not in the 'it' crowd. they can usually put up with your bullshit, and won't be purposefully rude to you, unless you're a freshcut. they enjoy music of the heavy metal/screamo/indie variety, uncharted clothing, and dyed hair. unique, and are oftern stereotyped as an 'emo', or 'scene kid'. however, this is not the case; burnouts just like to party. but not to be mistaken with typical partying: because lets be honest - we really don't like you :)
'hey, that janice girl is such a burnout'
