    Easy.

    Step 1: Buy a true paddle shift car (not an automatic with 'manual' gear change)

    Step 2: Check back with F-chat when Step 1 is done

    Turn steering wheel at least 90 degrees from horizontal.
    Select first gear
    If appropriate, deselect any stability control system
    If appropriate, select launch control
    Mash throttle

    After tires light up, turn steering in the other direction and see if you can steer in the opposite direction before your tires are shreaded.

    Then call for service, buy new tires. Repeat as necessary.

    Generally what I do is crank the wheel hard to the left or the right at full throttle after about a 10 sec run. That can have the desired effect. And blades missed you can get with the weed eater later.

    Otherwise, read this:

    Wonder how many doughnuts you can hang from the shifter paddles? Would be the same number right and left for most cars, but the CS has a longer paddle on the right, so can you hang one additional doughnut on that one? Good thing the paddles do not rotate with the steering wheel, or the doughnuts would fall off.
