if you want to do a brake stand, just press the brake and the gas at the same time with the car in drive...

it will take practice to determine how hard to press each, so when you first try it make sure you got plenty of room in from of you.

(in fact it's easier to do with automatic since you don't have to worry about the clutch. operating 3 pedals with 2 feets takes LOTS of practice)

I did the brakestand in my manual with no problem (see my other thread for video) its not that hard, but if the auto has enough power, its really really easy.

I believe holderca1 was making fun of the misspelling of brake as break.

Yeah... it's hard on the tires and transmission and clutch (for manuals) and the brakes.

But its fun, and what's the point of a Mustang if you aren't having fun with it.

I can do it with my 2000 V6 auto, so you should certainly be able to do it!!
