Yeas back one of my buddies had a Mopar muscle car, whit a crazy high compression engine it it, and huge intake and carbs. We were out and about in the rain, and it was terrifying. Just getting rolling at idle and touching the gas caused wheel-spin. With almost any movement on the gas, the engine was roaring. I called it the light switch, just on or off. I was glad to get home.

Remember those really wide pos-a-traction torque twister nylon tires? Hard as a rock, worst tires evar. They at least had the "POS" part right.
I had a set on a 69 GTX with a hopped up 440 and was trying to get to work, and it were raining. it looked kinda like this but was sting-bugged out and had an air-grabber hood:
And the tires were pretty much bald for some reason.
it was like the back of the car was on ice. Couldn't get over about 30 mph because of the back tires spinning.
Believe or not I pegged the speedo in that car on the garden grove freeway one night even with the G50 over-sized tires (and no rain), felt like I was floating.
Not the smartest thing I ever did.
Dad said I could keep that car or my license. Oh to be 19 again.
