You are probably right. Seems like I have seen someone like this at a stop
light on Capitol Blvd, Raleigh, NC. Some idiot is setting at the light with
a Lincold Continental. I thought the brakes had over heated in the rear at
first. Maybe they had, but they had because the guy was power braking the
thing at wideopen. The rear wheels were spinning so fast, they weren't even
squalling. Left dual marks all the way across the intersection. Guy looked
to be in his mid thirties to 40's. You could see him laughing and grinning
like a idiot to his riding partner. He sat there for at least 45 to 50
seconds like that. Had to be pretty tough on the whole driveline. I respect
teh 4.6L after that, anything that can take that kind of abuse that long
is pretty tough.
