Ever actually did a "bootlegger turn" with your car?

Question

and what shape were the tires and shaft when you were done?

Answer 1

Reverse to forward, yes.

Oddly enough, it was in my '97 GMC 'Burban lowered 3/2 with super stiff components, and an Eaton Posi Plus diff installed.

It was really sloppy (automatic) but it was what you described.

Scared the bejesus out of a buddy riding shotgun, but surprised some kids at a Sonic across the street.

Didn't check the tires, because they were getting replaced in a couple of days, but I'm sure this move is hard on a tire, the side-loading and all...

Answer 2

wat is dat?

Answer 3

Don't try this at home, kids.  And don't let Johnny Law see you do it.

Answer 4

yes did it in my 69 mustang. it was on dirt so it was not that tough on it
