I'd want better brakes and suspension before pushing a big car to its limits.

Those tests are fun, but no sane person tries to stop without some amount of modulation.

Nothing like brand new torsion bars! Look at that stance! Rolling quite a bit , lol but great stance!

I wonder how this test would be with radials...

Has anybody experience rear wheel hop in panic stops over 50 mph? I've locked it up at about 35, and the back end slid sideways slightly but no hop.

That was fun. Not bad for belted tires.
