Default Ricer + Gas = Boom!

This is worth a look. A ricer trying to show up a new M3. As bugs would say "What a maroon!" :crazy:

Ricer blowing up.

That was funny!!

But a word to the wise, it could happen to any of us that are trying to "push our limits". We all pay the price for increased horsepower, ricers just pay it alot sooner.

That was hilarious :rofl: :lol: :lol: :rofl: But it happened to me when I was racing in a sanctioned event running my 69 1/2 440 six pac Dodge super bee. I busted a rod like that guy did but it wasn't nearly as dramatic as his. It did total the engine but I was able to salvage some parts.

Ohhhhhh..... That is not funny, nothing is worse than the loss of a six pac elephant :cry :cry :cry :cry

I had the same happen to me back in highschool -- but I was running a 340 six pac (I would give anything to have it back). The engine originaly came from a wrecked TA Cuda and we ended up putting it in my Road Runner to replace the blown 383 Magnum. That thing was an absolute beast. But all it would do was go straight. Turning and braking were not in its contract :D

NO NO NO!!!

It was a forward to my work email!!!!!! :D

The guy has a 396 Stroker on 200 shot gas in his 94 SS. Since that is not a winter car, he talked his wife into letting him buy the "War Wagon." A Ford Van the size of Montana :jester Of course, since it is a Ford, he had to join the FC to figure out how to keep it running. :skep:

holy poopiesss that is a destruction of the poor stocker 4 banger. Look like he bolted on a aftermarket turbo on that car because it is not a factory turbo setup by looking at it. I have not see any thing that nasty than this one.
