my l81 on youtube, bad ending

[PHIL81]

Hey all, here's the link YouTube - corvette burnouts and crash

 

[Peer81]

Auw! Don't know why you went that way but the jump looked a little to high so what is the damage?
To be honest, in my opinion with my 81 donuts aren't that difficult. When you're in a spin everything looks to be moving very slowly but my 81 was bone stock back then.
I hope the damage isn't to big! Good luck

Could've been much worse.....

 

[PHIL81]

Was trying to fishtail up the road coming out of the doughnut, but lost all control! damage could of been much worse, car was drivable but it landed on a rock, spilt the inner bumper and bumper cover, crushed one grill/lamp. one trailing arm slightly bent, stress cracks in one fender ,This all happend a while ago front end got resprayed when the new bumper went on. I was getting bored with the car so while it was off the road I ended up taking the l81 engine and gear box out replaced with a zz383 and 700r4.

Was the '81 in stock form when you were doing donuts?

Mine runs a stock L81 and can't get out of it's own way!!!:confused

What am I doing wrong???

 

[PHIL81]

Not too sure, I know the engine was rebuilt once. It idled great, doubt the cam had been changed, I assume it was pretty stock, though no comp, normal rochester/vac adv dist, 2 1/4 dual exhaust no cat, 3.54 gears. Was getting bored, was the only way to get the tires to smoke up. New combo has same drivablity/manners but with balls

Easy, start in the middle of the parkingspace, turn the steeringwheel 1/4 to 1/3 of the total and pedal to the metal. It wil turn for 1/2 a turn and after that it will go into donutting. If you'r pushing the front wheels forward the steeringwheel is turned to much

When I say it can't get out of it's own way it can't! Does great in reverse. Tires won't spin even if I brake stand it.

By the way how's to resto going with your '81?

 

[Peer81]

My resto is going slowly but surely
