Does this work?

Guys On the weekend i raced my Friend on his mustang and he took out a 2 litter soda and spills it on the street and then does a burn out on it.. I never seen anyone do that so I asked him why he did that and he told me that his friend told him that it helps the car grip and makes the tires sticky so I asked him if it worked and he said " I dont know 1st time I try it" so what do you guys think does it ? But yeah i won he has a 2002 mustang Gt with a few mods ...

Never heard of that. Oh I'm sure it makes the tire all sticky... not in a good way.

the only way it would work is if you put it down and let it dry then that spot will be sticky as hell. doing a burnout in it is just going to make a mess.

I've heard of people putting down dr. pepper before, its the poor mans VHT.
Im thinking your supposed to let it dry on the ground at a preselected race spot rather then smoke the tires in it and making a mess but who knows. lol

You guys that are laughing should know what you're talking about first. We have used faygo red pop and dr pepper a few times when VHT was not at hand. Triggers car would leave wheels up on a small drag radial with it.

A few people in this thread talk about using it.
