Australian burnout contests are pretty predictable: something with a blower case the size of a small child is going to roll out onto the pad and proceed to give that climate activist from Sweden something else to rage about as she boils over once again. The Aussies have a good time, some tires are sent on their way, and the local governments spend the next week or two blaming revheads for whatever is ailing the local population. That is how it works over there, isn’t it? I get lots of different opinions, I just want to make sure I’ve got the basic concept down pat.
The thing is, a supercharger is nice and all, but it’s not the be-all end-all when it comes to making power that’s worthy on the skidpad. Some people have big brass ones and go out all-natural, which means that either the engine is built like a brick shithouse or somebody’s used car is about to send two or three pistons into low-earth orbit with a festive smoke trail following closely behind. You could do nitrous is you wanted to, but I’m not sure that’s a great idea for many reasons, and I’m sure the fire team on the skidpad would agree. So that leaves one other option: the super snails. There’s a laundry list of nicknames for them…Spoolius Caesar, the atmosphere amplifiers, and a ton of nicknames you can find for yourself with a quick Google search if your heart desires. You want power? You know the recipe: slap a couple of these beauties onto your engine, jam the pressure side down the throat with fuel, and let it go until the turbos are glowing like they have a half-life and your transmission is TNN: The Neutral Network…all neutrals, all the time.
I myself dont get the burnout contest austrailians do. It gets kind of boring seeing the same kind of cars doing smoke. And i also dont get all the work they put in building a car to almost showlevels of finish, and then doing burnouts until it cathes fire? I myself have a lot more respekt for my car and the time and money put into it, to pound the snot out of it like this. Also here in Europe winds are blowing in a bad direction when it comes to cars and the inviroment. Contest like this would be banned instantly and be used to hammer further restriktions Down the troat of the car community. I get bad looks from others just for driving my chevelle. So im guessing right now is not a time to atract unwanted attention. It is not a good thing to be a gas addict right now
