    Burnouts with FWD is easy and can produce thick smoke. Turn the steering wheel to full lock and let it rip. An old Fiesta with 12" Michelins is the best. After the car slings itself into somewhat of a circle 4 or 5 times, you'll have some smoke.

    @cargogh: Or just crank on the handbrake, rev to 3-4k and drop the clutch / neutral drop, floor it... ah, the joys of having a car you are actively trying to kill.

    That's amazing! One moment it's a convertible, and then it suddenly sprouts a roof! Go go Gadget Mustang!


    Also, the ghost of Steve McQueen approves of the reverse burnout, with corresponding axle hop.

    @A strolling player is: Gold Member!: Exactly. If you're going to make a Burnout video, make it suitably epic.

    If Jalopnik made this burn out video, they'd make sure they'd burn those rear tyres to shreds, after all they're not paying for them. Also it would be long. And loud. Also I'd like to think they'd do it in 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound. And an epic soundtrack. I'm thinking Mission of Burma.

    If they could just get it up to 25mpg, maybe I could trade in my Jeep under Obama's new junk-the-junker plan or whatever that new car incentive program is called...


    Nah, I'd keep the Jeep.

    @maximum-sienna: In-glass antennas (antennae?) will show back up as malaise 2.0 gets back into full swing. And then the Fed will alter radio transmission rules to free up the current frequency bands for some random yet undecided federal need, so your antenna will be worthless.

    @pauljones: Even in this economic climate, there comes a certain point in one's life when your job spinning positive about the fuel economy of muscle cars grinds you down so much that you'd rather be unemployed and drunk for the rest of your days.


    This is one of those points.

    You guys think mpg is boring, just wait a few years until "grams of CO2 per 100 miles" becomes a common stat, like it is in Europe. It doesn't get more mind-numbing than poring over decimalized emissions stats in order to decide which band of taxes you want on your next car.


    At least mpg is objective, with a tangible financial and convenience payoff for the owner. Unlike trying to "solve" global warming by changing your vehicle's emissions in a negligible manner.

    If you're getting 22mpg in one of these, you're not trying hard enough.

    Dealership: And how will you be paying for that?

    The ePRS (US Patent No. c11077983) reduced the press release to this:


    The 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 gets 540 hp and 510 torques and some gearing changes.


    It also gets 2mpg more than last year, so we beg you, World Wildlife Fund, please stop giving all the pandas chlamydia!
