I had a 68 427 Corvette that could break the rear tires loose at 75mph. I'd done it multiple times and it never went sideways like that. It got squirrelly, but it wasn't instant and it wasn't that hard to keep it straight. My 67 390 Mustang could do it to when it was floored and the auto downshifted to 2nd. But that had much smaller tires than the Vette did.

I'm not sure what he did to cause that. Popped the clutch? Maybe CWO can chime in.
I was driving behind an 1100 hp Viper that could easily shred tires and 80 mph, I know because of all the bits of rubber bouncing off my car and the road, but he didn't waver a bit. I've fishtailed a bit getting on it at 40, but again, nothing unexpected. |

FIFY I know the old 2nd gens you had to throttle through corners to get rear end grip. But not too much or the ass end would break loose. It really is like taming a snake, React to slow and it kills you, Move to fast and it kills you. I like them, but I'm crazy

And by "somewhat" I mean "will happily pirouette like a ballet dancer when provoked" The previous generation Vipers especially...no traction control whatsoever, but loads of power and relatively light weight. |

Hit the bottom of the grapevine at 85mph and be lucky to be going 60mph by the top of the grade. Try to pass a soccer mom that refuses to pull to the right, lane when a passing lane on a two lane road opens up, only to have them barely press on the gas to deny you a pass... Yeah I will take too much power any day of the week over not enough power. After 4 years of owning that shit box as a kid some 20 years ago I will never own an under powered car ever again. |

Mustangs, like every substantial one ever made from 65-70, the three Cobra Rs from 93-00, the modern GT500s/Boss302s/GT350s.... Every year of Viper ACR. And more Porsches and GT2/3s than I can count. Then I would go model my life after Paul Newman. |
