I made a short video with the go pro. I know this is stupid but I am in the middle of nowhere and had just finished a 400+ mile trip without incident and I felt like it was warranted. Enjoy.

I have a 6 speed and matching r180 rear diff. I know it is still bad for my drivetrain but I can justify doing some random hooning now and then. Whats the point of building the car up if you don't drive it like a jackass sometimes?

With a R180 (and its clutch LSD) it goes from stupid to just immature

Looks like a blast, I've done stuff like that and once was caught (1 out of hundreds) and was issued a warning ticket for unnecessary display of horsepower. I framed it,because I thought that was the most awesome ticket and no points or fines. I still occasionally like to play and punish my tires.

It is now my lifetime goal to get ticketed for unnecessary display of horsepower!

there's nothing wrong with driving it like you stole it if you keep good maintenance on your machine. if your afraid of braking it doing something that one time. you need to re-evaluate your setup and do it right.
Keep up the ass whoopin!
happy boosting!

Careful with a 5MT and doing donuts on pavement.
You might end up needing a new transmission.
