Default Does any one here occasionally Powerover?

When no ones around and I need to make a U-Turn and I have 3 lanes on the other side I powerover SOMETIMES. I don't want to eat up my tires but I've done it a few times. Anyone else do this?

Nope. I've always thought about it.. Never had and opportunity with NO ONE on the road. So no go for me.

I bet it was fun though. Makes me think of this video.



Does anyone think they should ban the sound that gt-40 puts out? Something that good just has to be illegal.

It is pretty fun, for a split-second your adrenaline kicks in but once you feel it slide around you immediatly counter-steer and steer some what with the throttle. Its exhilarating

Its a great way to thrill a passenger, that and drifting a turn, but its hell on tires, some passengers completely FREAK on you, and lets just say law enforcement personnel frown upon it. But they frown on most things we enjoy about fast cars. Just be safe and enjoy your stang.

I've done it quite often when the opportunity presents itself. The first date my G/F and I were on I did about 5 donuts and clutch kicked it around a couple of corners. From time to time she asks me to drive fast or slide the car for a little adrenaline rush.
