When the tire grabbed, the car was doing 65 mph. Man I ran the hell out of that car, eventually going through 2 engines.

This reminds me when I was "test" driving my 68 GTO automatic w 2.93 Safe T Track, I had put in a torquey 455 and was punching it from a slow roll and lighting up the back tires in a drift on the Farm to Market roads by the house, I would go into second gear s with it screaming along carrying a smokey drift for hundreds of feet of twin stripes and eventually hooking up at the top of 2nd gear at 88 mph. Only my tires were abused but what fun a little sideways at 80+ mph !
