Is this the one where the kid with the SRT4 proceeds to smoke his clutch trying to do a burnout at the drag strip? He's holding the brakes so hard the front tires won't spin and he's just burning his clutch up. Everyone's yelling "No man, No!" But he can't hear them and doesn't stop. Finally I think you hear his clutch plate disintegrate and they have to push the car off the line.
The best one is where the kid throws a turbo on the piece of junk Mitsubishi Colt. Doesn't beef up anything, just turns up the boost to like 38psi. Then he and his buddy take it for a test drive on the highway and when he down shifts to nail third, it makes a noise like a blender full of ball bearings and the transmission just blows apart. You see the clutch plate go rolling across the lanes and into the median.
Yeah, that IS a classic!The best one is where the kid throws a turbo on the piece of junk Mitsubishi Colt. Doesn't beef up anything, just turns up the boost to like 38psi.
