Great video of one of our local guy. He has a custom front mount turbo, 346cid with cam, 6-speed and 9" rear with stock wheel studs, and custom Synergy Motorsports 2-step limiter.

Till the ***** F^%$# wheel falls off!

The guys helped him get it driveable and he made it home safe. My buddy Ross played announcer/******* all day and this caught even him by suprise lol

The car was running 126mph traps most of the day on street tires and sliding all over the place.

He is really a great guy but rubs A LOT of people the wrong way.

Some of the **** he was saying had everyone dying.

Ross announcing the races.....

Ross: Here we have a blue 5.7L GTO racing the red "Half-a-GTO" (Cobalt SS)

Ross: Ok, so the white Mustang just hit his Spyhunter smokescreen in hopes his opponent wont be able to see him....

or

Ross: The black Mustang is gonna take this guy!! (there were 2 black Mustangs staged)
LOL
