How the gently caress does it have ANY kind of traction especially with THOSE wheels? Like that has to have the biggest power to weight this side of a top fueller and it just goes????

I thought that road looked familiar and turns out I was right, looking at the sign near the end it looks like it was done on 22/119 in/around Blairsville. Either way that guy is pretty loving badass for riding that thing at that speed.

I was wondering that, I was just expecting blue smoke and when it cleared bare rims.

I didn't see any build info so maybe he managed 4wd or something but even so.

I suspect that's an 1/8th mile track, putting that 10 second time around a high 15 or low 16 second run in the 1/4 mile; still impressive for what it is. The speed is probably blinking because an error occurred as there is no way he was doing 220 mph or kph.

I love how he's slowly enveloping the area with a thin fog of tire smoke. And pretty much everything else about this video, to be honest.

Don't want to derail the thread, but be warned if you start snooping around those videos. There is a BMW 530i one that was pretty painful to watch.

Theyre seizing an engine with sodium silicate since it was a cash for clunkers trade in.

Severely interesting attempts at welding with line voltage and no real ground.

If you're using a normal welder with two leads, you're just about completely safe. You can touch what you're welding and no harm becomes you.

To weld like they show in that video, you have to set the metal on the ground to literally ground it. It's brutally unsafe, and while it can work, if something were to go wrong, you're just simply hosed.

Time. Takes ~10 minutes or less to destroy an engine with sodium silicate, and then the engine is pretty much junk without a complete rebuild (which may not be enough anyways).

It'll take a LOT more time to disassemble an engine and render it unusable by mechanical means than just dumping a chemical in the engine oil and waiting a few minutes. Time is money, and the intention of the program was to take these cars permanently off the road.
