first begin by cutting your exhaust off and kicking huge dents in your car (spray paint would be a plus). Next step is to grow a ****** haircut ....you are now allowed to do donuts and burnouts for you are a cool guy.

you need to sell your car to someone who likes thirdgens. obviously you dont. you sound like someone who needs to buy a mustang. cuz mustangs are crap and nobody cares if you wreck them. definitely grow the ******. it fits you well.

Way to welcome a new person to the forum guys.

Now, had he posted pictures or a video of a burnout, you guys would have responded much differently ( :hail: )

I think the thread title of "Thrashing my Car" is what brought it on. Had it been something like, "how to make more power to have some fun" I bet the responses would have been "do a search" or people actually helping

Oh no i absolutely hate thrid gen f-bodys even though i am a member of thirdgen.org and think of my car as my baby. Did you not understand what i meant by asking this question? I want to do crazy **** in it WITH OUT HURTING IT. There is a difference between rigging up a car to do donuts and wrecking it.

fools

ok this is how you do it, go to a bone yard, find a 350, put in a comp cam 270H cam, port a set of vortec heads, but a edelbrock vector JR intake that is polished prefered, for the vortec heads, and a holley 750 carb and mod it out to flow 820cfm, put in a MSD coil and modual in your HEI,

then to your tranny, put in a 2400 stall convertor, a stage 2 shift kit, posi and some new gears int eh rear probally.

if you want to learn some info i HIGHLY reccomend going to your local book store and reading up on engines and all that, i have read almost every book on the market from smokey yunic, to the david vizard books. trust me they are a g0d sent.

The only time you should ever be doing a burnout is when you got drag radials or slicks before making a pass.

The only time you should do a donut is ...NEVER. Its childish and no matter how much you beef up parts you are eventually going to break something expensive. Not to mention being looked at like you're a jackass by anyone over the age of 18 with a respectable car

hrm? oh you didn't mean me. No ****** here. Thought I was getting called out.

And oh, burnouts don't help the car in any way.
