If I power-braked my dad's '69 350 powered Suburban just right before I turned a right hand corner from a stop, I could get that big 16" split rim-mounted 10 ply truck tire spinning fast enough for a small cloud of smoke and about 15 feet of rubber. This was the 70's, I was 16-17, and the truck was worn out with over 250,000 miles on the clock. When you're a kid, you do what you gotta do!!
Exactly.
Like my friend who ran a garden hose up the tailpipe of his dad’s car in order to rust it out and give it a better sound.
I found out if you'd pull my '68 Caprice (TH400) down to 1st gear and wound it out it would emergency shift violently to 2ed. Thought I was going to be walking the dog the first time I did it.
