Entertainment S/Cer style II

[BillyGman]

Here's a much better picture quality in this video of that same burnout.....I obviuosly used the brake pedal for this burnout. Unlike the other video that was from a dead punch..........BTW, for you guys that might have trouble w/this,if it doesn't work for you simply by clicking on the image below, then you'll have to right-click on the image, and click on "Save Target as" and then hit the "save" button in the window that pops up so that you can download it on your PC. BTW, after doing that burnout on that other video, as well as several others, and ESPECIALLY this one, my tires are now bald!!! So think before you try this at home!!!!:D
But I just bought new Drag radials anyway, and I also have a pair of new standard radial tires for the back also. So I wasn't too worried about the ones that endured these videos.

How about your brakes, how are they holdin' up?:D

[Bradley G]

I think I was the first one to see that 2nd clip too . I could'nt get the first one off my mind since yesterday. (wasn't trying) that is unbeGod beliveable.this one you kept the straight line going . I think you claimed this one left already thin rear tires bare a$$ bald.Would it make that much difference with the drag tires and the widder rims ? that looks scarry :eek:

[unixadm]

Very cool and I liked both videos. That thing just sounds bad ass! Yeah - I could see why your tires might be bald after that one! lol.

I don't even have my MM yet and I'm drooling about the thought of adding similar mods to my car!

[BillyGman]

How about your brakes, how are they holdin' up?:D
The brakes are fine. If anything, doing this will wear the back brakes a bit, but the front brakes won't be effected. And since the fronts do most of your stopping anyway, I'm not too worried about doing this a few times a year. It isn't a daily thing nor even a weekly thing for me to do a burnout, and even the times I do, almost all of them on the street are merely from a dead punch (or as you would say Jim, from a LIVE punch:D ) rather than doing a brake torque. I made an acception to that since me and a buddy were producing this video.

Ofcourse I use the brake pedal at the dragstrip right before each 1/4 mile run, but I don't go to the track to race more than twice a year anyway.

Scary? Naw.....more like FUN to me. As long as you have plenty of room, U-cool. Yeah, this monster smoke producer was the last one during the video session, and it was really the one that left the tires bald.:) How it will be witht thw drag radials? I don't know. But I'll find out soon. Not that I'll be doing that w/them on the street that often (cuz they're real expensive, and soft!!!) but I'll have to try it out w/them atleast once just out of curiosity before I take it to the track again.

[BillyGman]

Very cool and I liked both videos. That thing just sounds bad ass! thanks......the one thing I don't like is how my car hits the rev limiter in first gear before the transmission has a chance to get it into second. It doesn't make for a good sound when the engine is bouncing off the rev limiter. But the only time it does that is during a burnout. It never does it any other time. I think that all S/Ced Marauders might do that, because I noticed while watching the video of the Kenny brown Marauder doing a burnout, that it DID hit the rev limiter while in first gear too just like my car does. And my car did that even before I S/Ced it, ever since I put the 4.56's in the rear.

Lidio told me that there's just no way to burn a chip to avoid that during a burnout. the transmission just won't react that quickly, and get into second gear before the engine hits the limiter. I believe that to be true, because not only does my car do that now that I have one of Lidio's chips in it, but when it did that before I S/Ced it, I had Dennis Reinhart's chip in it. So it doesn't seem to matter who's chip I have as far as the burnout goes.

[David Morton]

Awesome! But I recommend you get a line-lock for your front brakes. Also, you can put some bleach on the road and roll your rears up onto it and warm 'em up real good before the car even moves 'cause that stuff is slippery'er than a Texas District Attorney.

Ahhh what a beautiful gratuitous display of tire burning fury!!!!

Mostly at the track. And even if I did, as you can see I don't need the bleach w/my car. ;)

....but maybe I just might try the bleach while doing one from a dead punch w/out the brakes.

[Bradley G]

Billy Gman The only thing I see your animal need'in soon is good fuel and fresh rubber (and of course a firm grip):baaa:

[BillyGman]

yeah, good fuel it always gets. Nothing less than 93 octane since the day I bought it(usually Mobil). The new rubber will be on this week some time.

[THE_INTERCEPTOR]

Holy mother of God...

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my 22 years of living.

I love how she just WHIIIIIIINES.....like a banshee outta hell. :up:

[BillyGman]

Glad you liked it. I could hardly wait to show it to you guys.

[04MEMA]

:up: AWESOME!!!! Thanks!

Billy,

Again with the teasing! :bounce:

You're just killing me... and my wife is going to finish me off. She did ask me what I wanted for father's day though... :burnout:

[deerejoe]

FAR OUT, Billy.

I would LOVE to be your tire supplier!!

[mpearce]

Dude...I don't care what anyone says...that burnout rules!!! Keep the videos coming...very impressive! FWIW...you must have dome something different with that video because I was able to view it on my system. The first videos you posted I was unable to see. Thanks for the post!

-Mat

[jstevens]

Very cool!!! Makes me drool for a s/c.

[BillyGman]

FAR OUT, Billy.

I would LOVE to be your tire supplier!!Yeah, even though I do still have the original set of tires on my MM, I do also have two new sets of back tires waiting in line to be mounted in anticipation of the need due to the games I sometimes play w/this car. So yes, I do spend a good buck on tires, but hey, you only go around once. Right? Having toys isn't the only thing I'm working for, but it's one of them. Otherwise, what's the point? That's the way I see it. It's important to save for the future, yes, but I have to have a balance, and be able to enjoy some of my paycheck right now also.

I've never seen the point in some guy's actions when they soup up a car to go really quick, and then never get into the gas pedal at all. It seems that some of them make their cars quick, just so they can brag about what they've done, or how fast their car is even though they never use that power atleast once in awhile to enjoy it.

Well Mat, as hard as I drive my car, and as much as I like using the power it has to offer, and even doing an occassional burnout, I dunno if I can continue to make videos like this. I mean it does get expensive as far as rubber goes. Especially if I was to do another burnout like the one I did in this video. But when I go to the track, I'll see if I can have someone w/a camcorder or digital camera capture one of my burnouts there, and then I can post it here.

As far as this video goes, I changed the file type w/some video software I have on my PC so that it would be more suitable, or more compatible for web use. So perhaps that's why it was easier for you to see it this time around. Have you seen the other one in that other "Entertainment Supercharger style" thread that I've posted in this same forum???

[the_pack_rat]

Billy,

Those are some bad - *ss vids.

:up:

The power braking one brought back memories of one of my first cars ...

A 70 Delta 88 w/a 455. 170K+ miles ... no mods - never rebuilt to my knowledge.

One-legger rear & I think it was probably only a 2.73 or there abouts.

That car could really roast the RR tire tho ... on dry pavement with a fresh tune & mild temps, it would roast it well into second gear ... just punching it from an idling standstill (no brake).

My first job was at a supermarket ... I was cruising around one day when I was off - & drove back behind the loading dock of the supermarket to see if any of my friends/co-workers were around.

Two of them were out on the dock working on some stuff - I stop but stay in the car window down - foot on brake - engine running - just to say "sup ?" for minute. Well I guess it's the first time either one of them took any real notice of the car ... & so the nad busting began ...

Comments like boat - tank - sled ..... better get that car home before you get in trouble with gammy etc etc.

Well I figured one good joke deserved another ... & I think I made some comment to the effect of "enjoy the fresh air" ... & to the floor the gas pedal went. And there it stayed there for about 15 seconds or so till I eased up on both that & the brake & casually went on may.

Absolute SMOKE SCREEN ...

There was a cloud over that store for about 30 minutes. Traffic slowed ... people thought the store had gone up.

Funny ... no teasing the next time I went back to work.

:P

[BillyGman]

Eric, great story man!!! I luv stuff like that. "Enjoy the fresh air" uh? That's a classic. maybe I'll use that one in the future. Yeah, them big block engines were torqey suckers. that's why I luv having this roots S/Cer under my hood. Gimmie that Torque any day!!!!! Thanks for that story. That reminds me of how my twin brother when we were 15 yrs old somehow talked my Dad into buying this old 65 Pontiac Catalina w/a 389 cube engine under the hood. Man that car did some good burnouts! I could only imagine how it would've been to have a Catalina w/the rare 421 engine option.

[BillyGman]

Hey people, for those of you that are still interested in seeing this same burnout video, but in a much better looking video quality and contrast, then go back to my opening post in this thread, and click on the image again, and you'll see that it much clearer now since I've replaced that original file w/a better copy now. I guess I'm becoming a little bit better w/the software I have for this stuff. You can actually see my face through the windshield of the car in this version. But more importantly, you get a better look of the smoke show!!!!! Check it out.

Thanks Billy that worked, finally got to see your burn-out. One word; COOL!!

I had one of those Cat's with the 421. Didn't do a lot of burnouts (Dad said I was now buying the tires) but it seemed I had to try to keep from spinning. Biggest thing I do remember is the speedometer needle disappearing into the dash. Probably 140+ easy. I was a wild and crazy guy.:banana:

Ahh, youth.

[BillyGman]

U had a 421 Catalina? Man that's a rare car even back then I bet!! I never even saw one. They were available w/triple duece carbs. Now that must have been the ultimate "sleeper" from the factory!!!

[TAF]

421 Catalina was a TRUE "sleeper"...I remember we had a neighbor who had one. It was silver though...not black and mean like this one...

http://www.bilavefur.com/myndasafn/Pontiac/1963%20Pontiac%20Catalina%20SD 421%20A.jpg

[BillyGman]

Todd, my parents owned both a 61, and a 65 Catalina( both of them had the more common 389 engine).That car in the pic looks older than a 65, but still has the vertical row headlights like the 65 did, whereas the 61 had horizontal row headlights. So my guess is that either that's a late 50's Catalina, or a 63 or 64. Which is it? BTW, the 421 Pontiac engine equipped w/triple dueces in 1965 churned out 376 HP, and 461 FT/LBS of Torque. Not too shabby.

[TAF]

That's a '63.

[David Morton]

I don't remember the year but it seems like 67. It's the next body style from the one TAF shows us. Two door with 4b Carter AFB I think.

Went off the road on one of my 'speed trials' one night and skidded backwards through a man's front yard at eighty or so and went between two oak trees. Took the chrome strips off both sides of the car! No other damage. Dad took the thing away from me and gave me a microbus to drive after that. Burned out two clutches in it.

:banana: I already said that, didn't I? :banana:

[BillyGman]

So I guess you didn't respect the power nor the momentum of a big block equipped boat when you were young, uh? That's the thing about fast cars that are heavy. You have to leave yourself more room to go ape w/the gas pedal since they need more room to stop than smaller/lighter cars do. Unless you did a serious brake upgrade, and back in the 60's I don't think there were any real great brake systems available. Almost all of the cars still had drum brakes back then.

Almost all of the cars still had drum brakes back then.Tell me about it brother. 12-1/2" X 2-3/4" front drums with big fins on the drums to try and cool 'em off and still the pedal would go to the floor at 50 when trying to stop from 90 or so and require a "pump up" then because the drums had just grown to 12-3/4" and even then you still might not stop without another pump.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm still alive.
