Spoiler alert: Blood Ravens are actually Hiigarans who got sucked into the warp, were sent back in time to fight in WWII against the Panzer Elite, then stole a nazi time machine to go into the future and save mankind from an army of Lobster-Elephants and other impossible creatures.

Rated R.

Probably the gradual clutch disengagement in addition to being on the brakes early, possibly with the wrong rpm for sticky, big tires. Usually when I do a manual burnout I dump the clutch hard with just enough rev to break the tires loose, then get on the brakes. He was all kinds of wrong.

Plus he probably still had the TC on :downs:

MY RELIGION IS THE SMALL BLOCK V8 AND COMMANDMENTS ONE THROUGH TEN ARE NEVER LIFT.

I imagine "Ferrari World" features two exciting podiums: one is a walk-through attraction where you go through the garage of a guy named Tony who charges you between $3000 and $20,000 for parts like exhaust hangers and wing mirrors.

The other is an event for the kids to learn how to completely rebuild a wiring harness. Once the kids finish, they are given a little ribbon by the Ferrari World attendant, and the harness bursts into flame. There's a bouncy castle at the end, but it costs $250 to ride and your kids just get punched in the crotch when they get off the ride. Also, the bouncy castle occasionally explodes, firing kids into the upper atmosphere, but it's their own fault for exceeding the manufacturer's warranty by bouncing on the bouncy castle.

You may think the obsession with unexplained engine and electrical fires is strange, but Ferrari World at least doesn't feature the "Carbs of Death" ride from Lamborghini World down the block. Don't stand in line too long, kids!

Anyway, on topic: in some European countries they have tiny dinky Fiat clones that don't make a lot of power and have not very many cylinders. The solution? Inexpensive superbike motors. BUSKUL!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft5Aj4CkI_Y

edit: Actually the 12 cylinder boat ride is pretty awesome.
