actually, it wasnt putting forth any more effort that driving at freeway speeds, maybe a little but not much, the rear end fo those trucks are soooooo light, it doesnt take much to brun out in an f150 with a v8, especially one with a short wheel base.

I donno man. Sitting still at 5500-6000 rpm like that can't be good. I thought the motor actually started sounding different later in the burnout. I'm sure the back brakes aren't too happy either(I doubt he's got line lock)

Still fun to watch though-not my truck
