I like this one.....

I remember a night in the early 90's when they had lowered the car and put some serious tires and Horsepower in it.....but....the chassis wasn't upgraded to match the new found tires and Horsepower......
On the first run it spit out the alum rear wheel tubs just off the line.......on the second run, it left so hard it popped the quarter panel trim right off the car.......It was just before Dick went away for a while.......and the rest is History....

That car looks KILLER as a gasser.
