Peeling out is the act of launching a vehicle so aggressively that the tires break traction, squeal, and leave rubber marks on the pavement. It requires a high application of throttle and a sudden release of the clutch in a manual, or brake-torquing an automatic. It causes severe wear on tires, drivetrain mounts, and axles.
