It didn't go just like the movies... There's a lot more noise and back end loose when you get turned around lol. But it was still fun. I want to learn to do it in a manual... Too much work pulling the brake and switching gears haha

I've been driving all my life

so how long is all your life, driving tractor on the farm doesnt count either.


never happened, you would of got hit by the other car, and you dont even know how to do it right, there is no hand brake involved. watch the vid, and see how you would go from one lane to the other pulling this move, you are not fast enough to get a large gap to even pull it off if you even new how.

thats a good video that import posted. The guy gives good tips.

This one poster said it perfectly

"It's better not to try this Hollywood crap at all. Hollywood has the dollars to screw up cars...99.5% of us don't. If you just have to try it, do it in a very very large and very very empty space. Always remember not to cry when something breaks, you roll over or hit something. It's better to just sit and watch these seemingly "know it all" half assed experts entertain you."

that has nothing to do with it, you missed part of the point. 1-there is no e-brake used in a 180, 2-you would go from one lane to the other, leading into either cutting off the other guy or getting t-boned. 3- that race never happened, and everyone that believes it is as dumb as the story.

we have a "track" if you will outside of town.
i have a drag strip down the street and and road america half an hour away, this does not make me a NHRA or a Le mans driver.
and yes Kal, ive have done reverse 180's in autos and manuals, its not hard

hmm, so if they're as easy as you say, this story is true. Thanks for proving his story for us.

98CMARO, we can't have you goading on ImportMD just to fire him up. Keep the forum environment friendly, you've started enough flame wars with Import lately, chill out.

I'm kinda skeptical about this story too...just don't get yourself killed.
