I know it's torque and HP. But the back end of a pickup don't weight chit. I wouldn't think that even smoking the tires would give it "that" much traction to flex the frame as much as he does.

That left front tire does look pretty close to leaving the ground.

in addition to massive torque and HP, he was prob using solid motor mounts which transfers all that torque straight to the frame rather that absorbing it when using a normal "bushing" (poly) motor mount.

that 2nd video reminds me of my dads 66 dodge monico. it use to look like a piece of $h!t but it had *****. it had a had a 440 out of an old cop interceptor with a 800 cfm carb and a high speed posi rear end. the thing would go at least 250-300km/h. not even the cops could catch it back in the 80's.
