Default Drag Racing crashes *weak stomach warning*

Crash Compilation Video

Its a hefty 29mb but its long, pretty intense and will probably make you learn a thing or 2.

Absolutely the best drag compilation I've seen. I was almost in tears with the mustanges though, such a shame.
As for the last one...did he get out?

I will be checking the emergency setups at heathcote next time too. Doesnt take much and even though we are not "full on" it shows how quick it can all go pear shaped.

And to think this all happened 'legally' on a drag strip. Let our governments show videos like this to youngsters

Far out, that is amazing. Thanks for the link, your not wrong Shane, how fast a car can set on fire is quite scary. The last one was within seconds, hope they got out.

while i like nuthn better than seeing car vids it still amazes me how many ppl spend all this money overdoing a car (thats all that could b said for it) just to do wheelies, bounce round a track and crash or flip over. i mean u see skylines and shit which r just as fast which have the best handling ever and dont do this. i just think ppl like to defy science. i mean none of these cars r real theyre all weight reduced cant be drivn on street roads (cornering, even on a circuit). the only good thing bout drag racing is that is off the streets and dun have to worry bout one of these beasts crashing into me but i think its gettn a little too crazy coz a lot off ppl take there mindsets onto the streets. just clazy as hell!!!

nah skylines wouldnt but u dont see them crashing everywhere like those mustangs, it was just an example. trust me dude jap imports have the the best handling. The only things better would b ferraris, lambos, porches which arent realistically affordable. I mean real jap cars not rice burner lancers im talkn but JDM (jap domestic market) cars. 300ZX would have to b the one of the best. My mates bro has a twin turbo 300ZX and it fangs like u would not believe and no commodore or falcon has ever came close no matter how ripped it is. They weigh too much, engines arent as engineered, crapper suspension. Sorry guys but falcons and commodores dont match up. they r familly cars. as much as i love commodores i know they r slow just as much as falcons r. I would get an SS when im 50 and towing a boat. I would have a holden but admittably they dont make any good 4 cyclinder cars therefore i have a TX5. if u want sumthn to last u get a honda, subaru, or a nissan. lol i had a good laugh from the vid as well. ill put in pics of the Unique autosports 300ZX. now this is a a drag car.

Ive got a TX5 thats a ford isnt it?. i like to chat bout issues and that.

i do like aussie cars. I used to b the most diehard commodore fan u would know. My room is full of HRT stuff and models and crap like that. and while i do go for skaife (even though he is in a rut last few yrs) im just sayn these sedans arent really sports cars like most would believe.

they may b nice but thats it. too often u have to spend a **** load of money to make them worth anythn and at the end of the day u just have lots of wheel spin and they begin to become 2 dangerous.

so im guessing your TX5 is a turbo? start a thread in the show n shine section with some pics of ya car, and a little write up....most people on here would just bag you and call it a POS mazda, but i'd be interested in havin a look, and so would some of the other guys on here that aren't so narrow minded.

haha.

Have you ever raced a 300zx? They arent that quick. Why dont you have a jap car yet if they are so good?

Its funny watching you paying at falcons when you say your car is shit.

hmm. even so, i think you may find that the SV6 was parked. or didnt notice you thrashing your N/A 4cyl, as he was quietly cruising at 1500RPM....

my car is non turbo, its auto....all it has "performance" wise is an exhaust (which i got for the sound, not any power) and a pod filter which probably does very little....im the first to admit my car is all show and no go. and would get molested by pretty much anything...lighter or not, its a stock 4cyl , and it wouldnt beat an SV6.
