Ok I like the fact you have some tech skills but I would like to interject that a burnout or (as in this case) wheelspin is caused by lack of traction. Which of course you must know is an enemy of speed and grip.

To show you that it even has the torque to do a burnout. Of Course with the other wheel taped and with posi, it goes about 30 ft with slight wheelspin.

How come they can outmaneuver a lotus at 160 mph?

lphillips094 in reply to beanieostrichApr 21, 2011. 4:51 PM

because the top speed for a lotus is 150 mph

beanieostrich (author) in reply to lphillips094Apr 21, 2011. 4:56 PM

Corvette ZR1's can also KILL a MURCEILAGO once it gets going XD
