Never fried my clutch in situ, while making lots of noise and smoke.

I can recall 3 times i smelled clutch. Once in my 240 at watkins glen showing off. Once in my friends crx. Still in high school both times. and once in my 911 just a little when i first got it. Too much traction and I was 21 http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1640491309.jpg

I'm in the dark here because I've never tried that with any vehicle, but my best guess is that he was counting on engine's power to overcome the rear brakes' power, but it didn't happen and the clutch took the abuse, right?

The US military ordered a number of FMC XR311s for testing purposes and they could be configured to fulfill a multitude of roles including anti-tank, reconnaissance patrol, convoy escort, command and control, medivac, military police, mortar carrier, internal security and forward air defense communications vehicle..............

The XR311 had a rear-engine, four-wheel drive layout with power sent from the Chrysler V8 engine through a 3-speed TorqueFlite A727 automatic transmission and a single-speed full time transfer case.

These vehicles were tested extensively throughout the 1970s and they did look like a likely M151 Jeep replacement – likely enough that Tamiya created their model of it, the development of which likely started in the mid-1970s, before the FMC XR311 project was cancelled.

Might be a dumba$$ed question - is this a Vincent? It looks customized &/or modified but the engine layout & the (unreadable) tank logo sort of suggest its is.
