There is something off there. If that car was made for the track it shouldn't have spun in 3rd gear. Not enough tire/badly prepped track/over eager driver/guy just playing around/ or some combination there of.

I think it was squirly because he had to rev it and keep dumping the clutch. Sounded like the gearing was way low thus him not being able to get the revs up, and trapping high 120's in a 13.5 pass

haha reminds me of my buddys f-body, around 700hp to the wheels and the ****er took me for a lil ride. I had to sit on the floor where the seat got torn out. It roasts them in 5th gear, bricks were shat! lulz. Has nothing on that car, but on the street the f-body was out of control.
