Re: Whoops!

I remember reading about this on another site...apparently the straps were sitting on the exhaust and melted. Thats what I read anyway. I see headers coming off the side, I'm guessing the exhaust runs back under the car to the back. Thats the only way I could see that happening.

Either way....that car must have stunk after the dyno operator shat his pants

Re: Whoops!

Wow! That was a sphincter factor of at least 9. That guy should get the hero of the day award for the impressive display of bada$$ery with that save!

Re: Whoops!

I'm guessing a few people got up and staggered to the nearest restroom holding the rear of their pants?
