Burnout pic with my 3.8L bird

Had my G/F do a burnout in the T-bird I got off Bird brain.  This is the most powerful NA 3.8L I've owned.  FUN car.  She let off sooner then I wanted but at least I got a shot of it.

That isn't that good. One nite at the parts store I worked at I burned the tires on my 88 cougar 3.8 and we collected up most of  the rubber it made a ball about the size of one of those shot put balls. I seemed once I got it going it just wanted to keep with it. This was factory setup with no mods.

yeah I know.  If it was me driving it would have been WAY better.  but it was a girl behind the wheel.  I will do one this weekend and show you guys a better one.  this thing breks em lose just by mashing the gas, on any type off pavement.  only things i've got in it is a K&N panel fliter, and a mustang rear swaybar.:D

 blew up and there's no spare in the trunk, he's even crazier than all my
friends say he is."

Try to power brake that thing. Why did you let a woman do a mans job LOL Also the one I had was an 88 with the Good EFI. I'm sure that makes a difference.
