trying to see if you can indeed catch the rubber on fire while doing a burnout... we all know tires will smoke, but they wanted to see if it would catch fire. They basically took an LT1 TA and redlined it for a couple minutes doing a burnout... popped like 3 tires I think...
in the end... the myth was busted...
