Fire

I was there when that happened. I think it backfired becuse the car in the other lane was trying to burn him down aty the tree. When he left off becuse the other guy wouldnt stage the other car moved in then he had to egt back on the throttle to get the boost back up and it backfired wich sent fuel out the intake.
Man it was a hot fire. You could feel the heat instanly. People ran from the fence like ants. I know the driver burned his hands.

I prefer having a stock looking car that has good street performance.

You retards, its a drag car, not a street car. Your not gonna have a stock appearing car running 7's in the 1/4 mile, lol.

And name-calling is against TGO policy. Consider yourself (and anyone planning a retaliatory response) warned.

Sorry for the name calling but for something to be as fast as that car and still look stock is impossible. No 7 second car is gonna have stock rims and no chute on the back.

Who cares about the driver...Can the car be repaired?! His parents would probably be more willing to have another kid then GM would be to manufacture another 3rd GEN!!

I'm only playing...a life is always more important.
