Ive seen that vid before...and Ide like to know detail specs on it too. There was something in the desc. about an fquick link for more info. Gonna check that out...

Wonder if having the spool makes it easier to break loose like that? A lot of the times he is turning slightly or on a curve. A posi might allow enough slip to help not break loose...but a spool would probably cause it to upset easier.

Not sure... The thing still sounds bad ***. And who knows what condition the tires are in. All I know is...I want my car to sound like that...and I want it to be scary looking like that. haha.

J.

EDIT: Yeah his fquick link has more specs.... Also looks like its wrecked now...? Also...in his pics...appears to be a good example of roll bar + street use + accident...

im sorry to jack this thread.....

DEF a bad *** car!

But it's not that hard to break loose at 60mph. i did it while racing a bolt on C6Z06 from a 50 roll for $100. like the vid stated..... he was going to burn off some rubber...... could've been some shitty tires. i make roughly 520rwhp on somewhat of a chilly day (intercooler) and when i stabbed the throttle at 50, once the turbo was spooled by 60, i was dacing on the highway on shitty tires. i now have MT ET streets because i was tired of shitting my pants from rolls

It's wrecked I think the kid lost it in the rain with slicks on and slammed into a tree. He also bashed his head on the cage, which is why padding = always a good idea.

I guess the You Tube Comments by his buddy claiming: "not only is the car badass, but my dude can drive like a *****" were not totally accurate.

So this ends on a happy note. The driveline from that awesome car went into a Black WS.6.

Good to hear that all didn't go to waste. Also glad to hear Thabmxer made it out of the wreck ok.
