Just slam the pedal and let the torque converter do it's thing. It is a pretty agressive high stall converter so brake torquing wont do much extra for you on this car.

Just turn VDC off though so that the car wont cut the power too much on you when you begin to spin.

Although you can spin pretty easily, it is a little more difficult to do a "burn out" on the 5AT though as you have to get the revs a bit high- which that would be most attainable with a clutch. But if you turn the wheel the tail will kick out on you pretty good.

Suggestion, don't burn out your tires.

Glad to hear you like them, but one thing you won't like is having to replace them! With a treadwear of 180, and ~$400+/tire, I would drive super clean and not burn out your tires or speed out of any sharp turns.

If you want to save money and retain performance, General UHP or Sumitomo will get the job done.
