When we had the SS 3.2 in the spyder, it was a pretty zippy 280 or so horses to less-than-1600 soaking wet car. I was screwing around, blowing off a little steam, and decided to rip the throttle open. Lucky for me, I was only in 2nd 'cause that sucker stuck wide open and it was sphincter clamping event of mortal terror as I rocketed toward the ass-end of a semi in a car low enough to squeeze under the tread.

Lotsa brake and switch throwing (ignition packs) followed by a change of panties. It's one thing to have a slow car's throttle stick. Gets very, very exciting in something like a spyder. Needless to say, I added a 2nd throttle return spring after that.
