When burnouts attack

Less to do with the speed than the fact that his left tire never so much as twitched. Epic one-wheel-wonder. Where's the 3rd gen top out at in third? Take that and double it for the one tire that was lit.

 

 

:confused: It was a one wheeler, but :confused:

 

Oh and they have OD, and they top at at 155-56 with a 3.73 in them.

If you lock up one side of an open diff, it basically turns into a 2:1 step-up gearbox for the wheel that is spinning, right?

 

(EDIT: What I mean is that it effectively changes the gear ratio from say 3.73:1 for both sides, to 3.73:2 for the spinning side of a one-wheeler, doubling the rate at which the tire turns compared to normal.)

 

And for my question about top speed in third, I heard what sounded like two upshifts, so he was probably in third, and he was building some serious RPM again when it blew, so I'm figuring he was close to fourth.

 

So, he was close to topping out in third, take whatever indicated speed that is and double it to find the speed of the spinning tire. Looking at the rest of the car (hanging headliner, beat seats, rust, and a foglight hanging out of the bumper by it's wires) I wouldn't figure he was spending much money on his tires. So with the one-wheeler, the rights side probably smoked right through it's speed rating by the end of second.

I don't understand...how does he blow the tire so fast(less than 8 secs.) I have seen guys burn them for a minute or more and drive away, with a fucked up tire but they still drive away.

 

Maybe it was an old can of...

...before they removed the combustion chemicals.

 

:D
