Crazy. Some Mustang (w/his gf or wife and child) wanted to race (I assume he did, since he got beside me and then just took off) me in Texas. Guy locked his rear end up at around 80. lol I just laughed my ass off and watched him sleak off the next exit. No wheels in the air, but he left some nasty skids marks.

I'd be more afraid of the shrapnel from the flywheel or engine if they were to detonate at those engine speeds. :eek:

I've heard of people loosing feet that way, clutch parts through the floor. Maybe someone should put the stock shift knob back in the car, you know the one with the shift pattern on it.

I do my burnouts in 2nd (it's an automatic) and forgot to shift into 3rd when I took of once. I got just past the 1/8th mile and it started bouncing off the rev limited, it scared the shit outta me. But that...well that's just stupid. And the guy in the stand, his reaction was great :lol:

Thats what scatter shields are for my friend :p

 

I know you can get them for Hondas because I have seen plenty at slomo, but it scares the shit out of me that I can't get them for my 20v that will be constantly bouncing off 9k at the track... I want to keep my legs :(

This display of driving prowess warrants three Mr. Schnauzies. Will consider petitions for a reduced sentence pending presentation of compelling evidence.
