Didn't you post this same video about a year ago?

 

[LeadFootLiam]

Some of the footage that I have of my friends 1990 Mustang 5.0 before he totaled it. Enjoy!

Oh my. That is sexy. And the background brings it out even more....

Yeah, and it's a blatant and pretty badly done photochop.

And the Mustang had been posted like a month ago. Come on.

I don't care if it's shopped, it still looks good to me.

Here's some eye candy I spotted on used car lot in Solvang last weekend.

You can even read the Demon lettering inside that scoop:

Hell yes:

OMFG YESSSSSSSS:

I hate when people cover their cars with stickers from tip to toe but the picture is really cool so I'll let it slip:

I like those pictures. I never knew a tire looked like that when they went off!

 

[playnthru]

You mean the rears? They "wrinkle" from forward grip and low tire pressure. Like this http://www.snotr.com/video/7326/Tire_Deformation

 

[Slash]

Basically the tire can't keep up with the rate the rim is spinning, from what reasons playnthru said.

The tire and the wheel are spinning at the same RPM. If you have ever looked at the rear tires of Sportsman, Comp, Modified, Pro rank car, you will see where the tire is literally screwed to the bead of the rim. This keeps the wheel from spinning inside of the tire. This is obviously a safety issue addressed and mandated by the NHRA.

Read up on the NHRA rules.

EDIT : killer post Cano !

I stand corrected.

To add a bit to this: a normal tire, and even a drag slick, isn't supposed to do that in normal conditions, but racers deflate them as muchs as possible to gain contact patch with the strip, and thus traction. If you look at a picture of a serious race-ready drag car standing still, you will notice that the rear tires seem to be low. That's because they are, but on purpose

I love Fast & Furious!

Yes, just like how you'd remove some air pressure from your tires if you where to say, go rock crawling or mud bogging, more surface area touching the ground = more grip. 👍 Which is why they use "Beadlock" rims on trucks and dragsters, to screw the bead to the rim pretty much

They say to use beadlock on 16.5 inch rims....heard a lot of horror stories but have never had an issue myself. A friend of mine said the same thing.

Here's some Russian stuff on the topic.

And one more - muscle-looking
The sound is awesome!

This thing is even street-legal!

Quite possibly one of the best Corvette collections around. Oh yeah, this guy has some other pretty cool toys as well.

Cool thing. I've always loved hot rods that destroy establishment, and this has been happening a lot lately, to mix trends and styles from other countrys/scenes. Hot rodding did it first, ask any car that was painted flat black in the last decade, but twisting hot rodding with european flavor is quite more difficult and takes some stones. This thing works.
