That would be wild! I'm not sure how I'd set up the suspension, though! Maybe put 0/6 shocks on the front, and some 11's across the back. I dunno. Unfortunately, though, it'll never happen unless you're willing to go from a rolling start (no tranny means that when the rear axle stops, so does the engine). Actually, that reminds me of a story you'd appreciate. Local Sprint car driver Kenny Brown got bounced into the wall one night last year, and the right rear tire came down right where the clay meets the wall, and wedged. This forced the engine, which was at the time revving around 8000 rpms, to stop instantly. The following pics were the result:





The pistons literally took out the crank journal and both sides of the block.

Cool, huh!

There are more pics of this on the "Ouch!!!" page on my website.



Take care,
