First gear hangs off the tranny unsupported on one side. This is part of the reason why you dont see people doing massive burnouts with the 901 box.

The V8 cars running a 901 typically have first gear removed or blocked off.

IIRC, that was Scott's car at RenegadeHybrids. Scott calls it Peel. It's for sale http://www.renegadehybrids.com/Peel_For_SALE.html. I was all over their site. Couldn't find the video.

Didn't realize Scott was selling it. I thought it was called something else??

I was in that car one time leaning against the targa bar (feet on seat) when Scott did a donut like that around Burr's car. Great fun!!

yes, you can, but you have to include the html tags (object, classid etc) if you want to play it directly within your post ...

I do it with my car, but just roll onto the throttle and slip the clutch to get started.......Otherwise, first is history!

Posted by: kafermeister Nov 17 2003, 12:36 PM

I didn't either until I found it on their site.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Nov 17 2003, 01:25 PM

I tagged the car "Peel" several years back (Polar bear run in SoCal).

Orange car... Orange "Peel"...

I'm a 914 burnout... I'm sure my picture is on the site somewhere

(need a hooka-bong smiley)

I can't imagine why anyone would want to do this.....except for maybe Zois....who has more than a few loose screws

The ulf hazes its stickies during an AX launch, but that's not exactly a burnout (John Force style). Up in smoke is not the quick way to leave.

I once own a 53 Buick with shot rear brakes that could burn the tires down to the rims.....I had a few loose screws back then.....they've since rusted into place.

Musta been someone other screwball...."I" would never abuse a Porsche like that .....

Haha, we had a little burnout contest one night a couple of years ago..

Jeff's 2.0 914 would just go or stall, it wouldn't break the tires loose. Even in the rain dropping the clutch at 5k.

I have a video of my burnout from that night somewhere.. but it wasn't in a 914.
