hehe, be like a stupid friend of mine.. Had a 77 Dodge Adventurer with a
440, holley carb, etc.. 35" (34"?) Mickey Thompons.. He would EASILY spin
all 4 tires for as long as he wants.. well, anyway, 1 day, this mustang
challenges him to a peel out contest (well, this is the story he tossed me
anyway)... so anyway.. he revves up the engine, drops it into Drive...
spins the tires, and the Drive Shaft along with it... that drive shaft
had twisted *3* times and then broke in half...
wouldn't ya know it.. it was apparently a drive shaft off a Furd!! lmao
still, stupid thing for him to do.. hehe
