no doubt bout it...the other night i raced an 08 chevy colorado and beat him right off the line till we hit the kroger bout a little over a quater mile ...pretty good..i had no idea the dakota sport v6 was that powerful..i met the guy in the parking lot and he asked if i had something special under the hodd 
.no just stock. he had the v6 3.7 L...i was very shocked..they just dont build em like they used to

Here's some pics of me burning out the old tires on my truck...
When I got to the parking lot and put the old tires on, I ran the adjusters all the way in on the rear drums and wasn't fighting them at all. It broke free easy and didn't feel like it was putting a lot of stress on the drivetrain, but it's still not good for it.
Like I said above, if you get a line lock it's not such a big deal. With a line lock, you push the brake pedal to the floor, flip a switch, and let go... it holds whichever brakes you set it up to hold, usually the fronts and releases the others.

Chrysler 9.25" rear axle with 3.55s and a Trac-Lok LSD. Whenever that wears out, I'll lock it for real.

it is a chevy!
all i have harmed doing many many brakestands over the years is bunches of tires. wet pavement does not wear as bad as dry but dry pavement makes the smoke show!
