Blonde+Female+Tires and no crash. Impressive and quite possibly a first!

British people always putting down American cars.

The General Lee sounds so much better then the Ford!!

[sonicsyndicate94]

Why its not begin to go sideways is because its engine, the v8 gives a soft powercurve from low to high rpm, not all of a sudden:-)

I drive a 95 Mustang GT 5.0. I get approximately 9 MPG. I fill up once everyday. I can smoke my tires off if I want in about 5 minutes flat and I set off all those fancy car alarms as I drive through the parking lots. I drive to in-n-out and buy a double-double and drink Coca-Cola while I listen to 80's Alabama on my radio. If I could somehow do all this and club baby seals I would. I love my country and wouldn't have it any other way. No place like the USA bitches. Same some shit.

if she crashed ether one she would walk away and the car could be fixed. a new car or mini, call for a ambulance!

Amagin putting one of those in the 69 dodge charger it would own in DRAG and in RALLY only if she put that in the charger in this video then the race would be a lot different outcome charger speed with cts/cts-v handling now that's something I don't want to mess with

[M16503]

Mopar and many other companies make really good aftermarket modern day steering and suspension system so you can put them into old muscle cars and that handle more like modern day cars I put a Aftermarket Mopar pro steering and handling system in my 72 Plymouth duster with a 340 and man can that baby turn

Ok being a woman driving a charger is acceptable but talking trash about the best car ever made on this planet or any other is outrage

@kbdevo1962 Yeh, the American cars are so big and heavy, and that's why they can't glide through corners. But yeh you're totally right about the european cars, because they sure do have a great history of great handling! My Mom has a 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and it's a midsized sedan, but handles like a full out sports car! Cheers! :)

@perlewitzaudio No need for an apology. I can understand the frustration . At the same time even now with newer American vehicles , It is hard to find a car that will handle . The Cooper Mini has been around since the 50's It has been raced since it's inception .Many American cars STILL can't handle as well . Handling has been one of THE most important aspects of European cars . With all the narrow curves and mountain roads it makes sense. While for US it's been straight line speed .Cheers !
