I don't know what caused the accident (it would be interesting to get some details). But I can certainly relate to "getting in trouble" with the loud pedal, been there more than once.

If in fact this accident was related to use of the loud pedal NOTE it was a 302. MY 302 is pretty much stock. But it is certainly capable of putting the back end where the front end USED TO BE in a heart beat while I'm "driving"!

Interesting comments I've heard from Big Block high horse power car owners: They CANNOT put the pedal to the metal except with some serious thought about the end result of doing so. Even at 80 plus, you STILL got to "think" before you "floor it".

For MY safety I run DOT approved Yokohama race tires on the street. I want MAXIMUM traction at all times!
