UPDATE: I FINALLY DID IT!!! I finally got my tires to spin. I think the key was to turn off the traction and scoot my seat up a little. Then I kept trying until I got it. I made a little video of it. THanks to everyone for all your help.
Why start in 2nd? Does that make 'em spin easier or faster?
Yes, it makes the tires spin faster with less rpm and torque and gives the tires more chance to hook and slow the rpms down when 1st might just keep them spinning without ever hooking up.

Good work on the wheelspin. I always wondered if I'd ever get any of that with my V6 auto. Now I know. I will.
The practice I've developed is to roll a few feet and put the brakes on; while the car is still leaned forward from braking, push the gas and brake even harder. There's enough power to over-ride the rear brakes.
It's even easier since I've done the b@m@chips performance tune. In fact, my problem now is hooking up off the line. I'll have to learn to drive this car, I guess.
I learned the rolling-a-few-feet at the local eighth-mile drag strip. They always put water down across the staging lane burnout area, and eventually it runs to the point you can't drive around it. I roll across it and then do a "quick spin" to dry off the tire.
Generally speaking, there is no real value in doing a smoky burnout on street tires. Drag racing tires should benefit from warmup.
I did learn something last Friday night, though: the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires did grip a bit better after a smoky burnout. When I lined up with someone who was a serious racer, and I knew I wasn't in the same league, I joined in the fun and smoked it up when he started his burnout. What a surprise to find shortened 60-foot times on those runs!
back up about 15 feet med speed and slam the shifter in to drive and puch it at the same time, that will spin....as spining turn wheel and do dounuts

I never had a problem doing brake stands in my 97 V6. Granted, if a person doesn't think to turn off the TC, if so equipped, it would cause a problem. I have done several smoke sessions, both as a "one-wheeled wonder", and later with both going.
...also, if do the same process while in reverse, you'll get the other wheel to spin
i got a 93 octane race tune from bamachips and now if i ever hit the gas real hard from a stop i cant keep myself from spinning, also if those are the stock pirellis on those rims they only lasted me through 3 burnouts, the nittos i have now have gone through 20? lol, t-lok will be installed soon but most of the time both my wheels spin anyways
