You guys may have seen this already, but here's a night rider ramp myth with that looks like an RS Camaro that pretty dinged up.

Oh yeah this is pretty old. I was just wondering the other day if they'd use it for any more myths or already got rid of it.

I would like to see them do that same thing but with an underpowered front wheel drive car like a mid 90's corolla or something. I'm thinking that when it hits the ramp, the rear wheels will slow down too early and not be able to get up the ramp. I'd be a good test to check out.

Or that the sudden change in velocity will really screw up the transaxle.

That sudden change in wheel speed CAN'T be good for the axle.
