that only happens at 50km/h? (31mph) consider yourself lucky!

mine does it at 120km/h with sticky 35" mud tires (75mph) and I can hold constant wheel spin on wet ground at freeway speeds and never get traction, yet still manage to gain speed while the **** end is skipping across puddles lol

wombat could probably do that in his truck too if he would ever replace that clutch...at the moment I don't think his clutch would tolerate it...

This old 89 360 I've been driving in would have no trouble doing a burnout But while the clutch might hold up the rod bearings would scream at me for doing 4000RPM lol...

well i don't know if i would want the back end of my truck sliding out from under me at 120km\h. never really tried it at those speeds since the speed limit on most roads is 80km\h.
