your car sort of acts like rwd when you do that. you need better brakes though cuz stock ones will only do it up to a certain point.

Its called brake torquing and you dont want to do it all that often. It generates alot of heat and can damage the trans. Nothing should click thou. On some of the newer cars with drive by wire it isnt even possible as the brake overrides the accelerater and limits engine revs.

he's probably talking about the the pedal being pressed down all the way. which can feel like a click. either way, anybody who abuses a Tip like that is an IDIOT!

brakestanding is for rear wheel drive cars mainly... you hold the brake just enough so it really only grabs the front wheels... leaving the rear wheels to rip in place...

That's what I thought as well. I hope the guy doesn't try it cause he's gonna blow his tranny.
