Here it is. Reer wheel looks like it stops spinning during burnout which would point to an LSD issue but it may just be the video.

Derek - Great run!! The Camaro may have been fast, but thats a dedicated drag car, and it looks like he lost the motor at the other end of the strip with all that smoke. - Bob

Cool

mind blowing 55

Im so impressed by your 55's performance. Man you must smoke and I mean smoke almost everyone who crosses your path on the freeway. Im not too sure what it would take to beat your 55 in a sprint. Of course Im not talking modified 10 second rides, but exotic sports cars like FERRas or LAMBOs etc.

The look on their face when they see a luxury 4 door sedan leaving them in the dust

Is that car your daily driver?

Many congratulations, keep those inspirational videos coming. Great video quality by the way
