http://www.myspace.com/163296073 Posted By: T_TopBandit On: 08-15-2007 @ 14:12:31 Reply | Top | Edit That's pretty cool, I've always wondered about that myself if that worked. Me being a child of the 80s and Knight Rider was my 2nd favorite show and Dukes of Hazzard #1! Makes you wonder tho what that's doing to the tranny being in high gear at 55 then the wheels being jerked down to a crawl. To me that would be the same as a car being on jack stands running at 55 then falling off them hiting the ground. Can't be good but oh well Hollywood can aford it. Posted By: roubenbird On: 08-15-2007 @ 14:49:04 Reply | Top | Edit Shift, yeah, i suppose that your right, there is basically "no" load on the motor at cruising speed. And since the ramp was metal and wet there wasn't any traction to hurt the car either. when he backed out of the semi, they did chirp a little. nothing major but i noticed it. i cringed when she rubbed at the breakover point --

I understand that they are cheap and plentiful but all the time, if they need an old car to smash, it's going to be a camaro of firebird, normally a camaro. --

Fear Factor and Myth Busters are known to use 3rd gen Camaro's for their tests/stunts. The majority of the time, they f*ck them up pretty badly too. -- 1997 Mystic Teal Trans Am, M6, Leather, Hardtop.
