3.0 burnout?

So, I almost got t-boned by a Grand Am earlier today due to stupidy on others behalf. Once it was time to take off from my fast stop, I swore as I did a nice burnout away from the scene.

Father down the road, after I had collected myself, I said to my girlfriend, "Holy crap, I didn't know this thing could do that!".

I never thought the 3.0 could spin 32" mudders on dry pavement.

This truck never ceases to amaze me.

Mine's only done it once, when I was trying to teach my wife to drive standard. She stalled it a couple of times, then I said 'give it a little more gas'. I had no idea a '93 V6 could lay rubber.

It's all how you drive it, I can do donut's on my 31"s if you punch it and crank the wheel. Having the 5 speed is probably the easiest way, and I can also lay down burnouts on a straight take off..., havn't tried a brake stand yet, that perhaps is just a little too much abuse on my '94 3.0...
