Third gen on Mythbusters
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.

Re: Third gen on Mythbusters
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.

Re: Third gen on Mythbusters
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.

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