    Wheel hop kills another one. DEAD!!!! This is what happens when a person adds a big dose of horsepower without beefing up the chassis and building a drivetrain that can handle the horsepower. Lots of damage here. The guy was fortunate that this was all that happened. The hit to the wallet will be a good lesson. Luckily, no one was hurt.

    Driveshaft failure? The way it hopped it looked like a u joint failed and the driveshaft dove into the pavement.

    Whatever it was....I bet he had to
    change his shorts! :)

    Right where I want to be.
    Reminds me of American Graffiti. The scene with the cop car.

    Wow, it never ceases to amaze me. Spend $ on the chassis.

    Yup. Couple hundred bucks in steel and a few hiem joints could have prevented that.
