I couldn't even feel the landing in my old car, but I don't like looking at the sky going down the track. That's for the youngins.
Yeah, the worst thing you can do in that instance is to jump out of the throttle!!! Then you will feel it land!!!

That's why I don't do starts like that and hook up the tires. Did it once at a red light and between the girlfriend and me screaming when the front end lifted and the po-po who pulled me over...it was a bit too much that day. The cop let me go with a warning and told me if he had the car he would drive it the same way too.

So I stick to roll ons and don't try it from a dead start anymore. Awesome video and a very clean run down the strip! Wish we had the time slip too.

Well that does it, I'm buying one of those ebay electric turbos. I just wanted to be sure they worked and you can't argue with that video.

I'm even paying the extra $15 for 2 day delivery. I'll post up my wheelie vids once I get her hooked up.
