I'd seriously doubt it.. shame, it looked very solid.

Wow!!

that is insane, absolutely insane
it buckled the whole rear of the car.


On a different note, isn't that the wussiest burnout pad ever... they chok the front wheels... and have special slippy pads under the rears... then run a river under the rear wheels too.

Surely its better to roll out of a burnout rather than come off the power at a standstill which will (I assume) suddenly stress the drivetrain when the rear wheels regain traction while stationary.
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

It sounded to me like the driver was changing up through the gears

That would mean that the tyre would be spinning far faster and because the car was stationary, when the tyre blew it didn't have anywhere to go

I'd agree.

Definately.

Proof of what I've always thought - anyone can do a burnout but very few people think about what could go wrong first.
