    Wow........


    F8L would know as well as I do that, You know the difference between burning up your clutch or burning up your tires.

    The guy filming should have told him to cut it off as soon as he didn't see that tire spinning. By the time he noticed the passenger side tire wasn't spinning he still didn't say anything lol.

    Hmm,

    I do not think Darwin is smilling. The guy who walked out in front of the Corvette (holding the camera) while the Corvette was a full throttle walked away unhurt. Not Smart!

    Good thing the driver was good at slipping the clutch. :madgrin:

    Now he knows a clutch doesn't smell like tires. Or perhaps he doesn't smell?

    Makes me think of the adage, "A fool and his money are soon parted."

    OMG! What a couple of idiots. At the young age of about 13 I knew what burned clutch smelled like and it was nothing like rubber. Also when your wheels are spinning while doing a burnout you can feel the wheels spinning even if you are basically standing still. I hope that clutch, pressure plate, etc. cost that fool some money. Epic Fail.

    Gotta love dumb white trash "bye bye six hundred bucks" no wonder this country is so f***ed

    Too bad the clutch didn't explode. The shrapnel would have gone through the bellhousing and shredded his legs

    Reminds me of how the Liberals are trying to rev up the economy! They think they're smoking the tires but all that is happening is that the clutch is burning up and the engine is overheating.
