I rode in a good friend's 67 Corvette, 427 3x2 400 HP. Factory size tires, sidepipes, 4 speed. He nailed it from a dead stop on a grippy concrete road, went through the gears, and let up around 90. He asked "what I thought" and I said I was impressed but what was that squealing sound? It sounded like something was rubbing against something. He said "the tires were spinning". I found that hard to believe because the sound never stopped, to ninety MPH when he lifted.
Well he made a U-turn, stomped it from a 30 roll and no squealing sound. On the way back from the direction we came in I could see the 2 black lines and a little gap then 2 black lines and a gap...
My car is pretty damn fast, but not scary.
A turbo Eclipse, modded, was crazy once that big turbo kicked in.
Back when I was about 7 my cousin took me for a ride in his appx 1969 GTO 4 speed, in the hills of Georgia. Between the manual transmission, the speed, and negative gravity going over the hills, that was a great ride! My dad driving the 69 383 Roadrunner on I-10 and someone passes him speeding. Dad puts the blue light on the dash and catches the perp about 1/2 mile away. I was inducted into the MOPAR nation that moment!
