I think you should clip a picture out of that video to use as your signiture[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img]

You should have hit your brakes while staying in the throttle. Never let out of the throttle with the front up unless you are going for the barrier or the wall or the front will crash down like it did. I did that one and once only. I will never launch from a dead stop on the bottle again because I hit the rear bumper which unloaded the slicks causing them to spin and stop accellerating the car foreward which made the front end slam down and break my front coil spring AND hurt my headers. Now I stay in it at all costs until the front has safely made it down, then I lift. Hit the bottle after the front has quit rising and you will never have that happen again. I have gone naturally aspirated now and I still launch wheels up and without breakage. Almost as much fun as nitrous but not quite[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
