    I say that is NOT a street...that is a highway:D Probably has those serrated grooves cut in it to increase traction...:oops:

    The principle of weight to horsepower ratio and weight transferrance are the reasons why I need to mount to my driver seat as close to the front as possible.:rolleyes:

    Not on purpose.

    My theorized solution is based entirely on impacting a negative effect upon the required and sustained motions for rapid elevation of the frontal elements of the automotive suspension.

    Translation to Arkansan - "The closer to the front of the car I put my lard butt, the less chance of a wheel stand happening." :p

    I am aware of what you were talking about... just suggesting that reving it up and dumping it into reverse would be cool... and with your "lard butt" in the front... sure would help ;)
