Is a good reminder why to never shut off what some call "nanny features!"
That is exactly what happens with my 8.2 liter, light weight street rod with only Positration in the 9 inch Ford rear. Even with 16 inch section width sticky tires, a rigid chassis with a 4 bar link rear suspension and 53% of the weight on the rear weeks, if one wheel looses traction you have less than a 1/2 second to react. If not you're off the road! Even with my Z51 I never shut them off! With 650 hp your asking for trouble!




ProStreet Rod, 8.2 Liter Big Block, Long Tube Headers and 850 Double Pumper





If one tire looses traction you have less than 1/2 second to react or you're off the road!
