When I hammered the throttle it would just spin the tires like nothing with no brake standing. Even at the track it was burn out machine on a prepped track.

My car was a 72 Nova, and about a 1000 pounds less then what you'll end up at.

When I drove it hard I had to roll into the throttle to keep the tires in check.
