It's my best estimate given that I spin the tires through 3rd gear.
Relistically my ET would never be that slow and my mph wouldn't be that fast, i'm just making fun of my situation.
Really, my car would only slaughter another car from a FAST roll. I've got on it at 50 before and I just started to spin and slide.

A- you need to roll with sticky tires, and since you don't drive that much, it's not a big deal.
B- You do know you don't have to stand on the gas when accelerating right? That slight difference in feathering throttle in allows traction to hold; it's when traction breaks that your frictional status becomes, let's say, highly dynamic.

Ben, watch the video of my car accelerating through 2nd and 3rd, then tell me if you think I have time to play with the throttle.

I'll need to drive it to be sure. You probably just lack the necessary refined muscle control, being a brute and all.

I do. When we were kids, my mom for a brief time had a Willys Jeepster (51?). It had a 327 Corvette engine from the 60s and it absolutely roared when the transmission worked. She got rid of it because she was afraid (probably rightly so) that it was only a matter of time before somebody got thrown out of the car.

I agree with you but Typhoon gets my vote. I will buy one here fairly soon.

Really? How soon are you looking to buy? I've never been in one before, if you're willing I'd definitely like to go for a ride when you buy it
