So this is a little scary

Ha!

You going to have any cars up at PBIR 3/17?  American muscle car shoot out. My coworker and I are bringing our rentals (5.0 Mustang and Camaro SS) up. Neither of us have done a pass thus far with an auto trams so we'll have to figure out how to launch one using 2 time shots. What could go wrong?

What do you mean leveling kit? I'm not that much of a mechanic yet but i'm working on it, please clarify?

stock F150's have a raked apperance ( front end is lower than rear) you can get a leveling kit that brings the front end up to the same height as the rear, i did that to mine and it even made it handle better.

No PBIR for us.

We build primarily standing mile cars.

P-Zeros for the camaro are $263.00 a corner.

Toyos for my truck are over $500 a corner.

In 2005, My friend and I were in a 2001 GMC Sierra king cab. We were hit head on at 60 (off set on drivers side) by a 2005 Chevy Cobalt. Everyone walked away from the crash except the passenger in the colbalt. She was the only one to suffer injuries at the scene. She suffered crushed ankles. Maybe 3 months later is when myself and friend started having issues. I have 2 slipped discs and a pinched nerve in my neck due to my face smashing the deploying airbag. He has some pretty serious back issues now. I hurt myself more after the crash trying to get out of the truck. If anyone has ever had airbags deploy on them, they know the powder smells like burning wires. I freaked out and had to kick the window out because I thought we were on fire.

My point, I went a couple of months later a bought a 2001 gmc sierra king cab. Those things are built like tanks. But now I drive little rice burning imports with hopped up engines. If I crash in one of these, Im good as dead.

Hmm, good to know.  I assume this is also in tandem with you usually having a light to no load in the back?

What kind of "rice-burning imports" do you drive?  What make, model, and year?  Though not 'tanks,' they certainly aren't paper bags with wheels.

i have Rear Axel leveling bags for when i haul real heavy loads to keep it level, just hauling things aound in the bed ( tools,welder,ect.) hasnt affected or dropped the rear past level anyway, if anything does i have the bags to level it back, the cost of the leveling kit was $289 then you also realigned the front end.

I meant "crome" the program used to tune cars on the dyno.

who needs driver school when there's forza...
jk wish more people had to hydroplane and slide in gravel to get a license, here it seems like all you gotta do is not be drunk when you go to get one.

Agreed.

Most people on the road have no idea what to do once they start to lose traction. I wonder how many accidents could be avoided if they actually had a clue. I've seen a few videos of drivers overcorrecting and turning a recoverable car into a rollover accident in no time. Then there's all the times on my commute that I've hit some traffic, looked in the rear view, and saw a giant plume of tire smoke from someone who locked 'em up.

All it takes is a little practice in a wet parking lot. Combine that with some dirt road stuff and you're golden. As a teen I went off the road at over 90mph in the Mustang. That little bit of experience I had saved my life (and allowed me to learn a very important lesson).
