not in that video... rpm drops as soon as he lets off. Maybe at a higher speed if he kept his foot in it...

Man that video had me wondering how you launched so hard and had perfect traction. and then i realized smokeshow was AWD. It's not even april 1st yet and i got fooled. those trannys i have heard good things about. won't be a problem for anyone.
