I do not know about it being a twin Turbo HOWEVER He must have thought it was something doing that John Force burnout and all.

I should have been slow staging and let his slicks get cold.

Good thing for him my car broke the next round or we would have had a rematch!

NO NOT AT ALL! Actually it didnt hook and went left! I just had 410 gears put in it 2 days before that run. It spun even harder on the second pass and blew the teeth off the ring gear.
Result!
YouTube - Camaro Broke

I am pretty sure it is because I had to sit and wait on that old Buick to get done doing his Pro Stock burnout half way down the track!

I just started working on diffs in my auto class so DAAAMN breaking teeth sure doesn't sound easy! Oh and why does it say 2001 on the camera? This happened recently right?

NO NO! This happened in 01! I was just changing some old tapes to video and came across it.

There was a reason I posted it in here! Stick around you will see why.

Hmm, this seems to be an interesting thread with a lot of good responses!! You have to really watch out for those old buicks!! They may look like grandpa's grocery getter, but sometimes people swap a nice little small block chevy in them and they run pretty good!! OH! And there is no way it could have beat one of those LS1 camaros in stock form.....come on its a buick! So it is obvious the only reason it could do this is because the traction issue!! LOL!! OH! and none of that was sarcasm!

Is that a Jiffy Lube symbol on the side of that car?
