VIDEO: Skyline from Hell Burnout

Skyline from Hell Burnout

Brought to you by FASTM3COOL.

Okay this has to be one of the sweetest burnouts I have seen in a very long time. It's not exactly the longest clip but it's worth seeing every second. If you're a fan of white smoke coming off the back tires of a Skyline, then this is a video that you can't miss.

View the Skyline Burnout video.

Simply Glorious

No reason other than someone asked you to, and you felt a little generous. Sometimes a simple burnout makes some of the best video. Love it!

Bavarian Burn Out Take 2

If you love BMW's you'll probably love BMWPower.hu. They just uploaded this video and it's just full of e30 drifting goodness.

Anyhow for some reason the Flash Encoder didn't like this one, so sorry folks, Windows Media only on this one.

Bavarian Burn Out

Hello Friday, took a little bit of a break from posting to catch up on some business...and to recover from Petit Le Mans (hope to have that up eventually). Grabbed my morning coffee and found this lovely murder of a $1000 set of exotic car tires.

The e39 M5 has become one of my favorite cars of all time, and checking the used car prices they're now getting cheaper than a new Vette so finally, mere mortals can afford them. I think we'll see more and more Bavarian Hoodlum-isms as the years go by and especially if the ever reach "pull a fast one over on mom and dad and get one of these for highschool"-Cheap.....

The Break-Up Burnout

I hope this guy's ex-girlfriend did something really nasty to him to deserve this.... Because she's going to need a new set of tires after this....... and a new rev limiter.

PS, It takes some balls to beat on your ex-girlfriend's car then post it for all 4 million StreetFire.net viewers to see.

Shelby Mustang GT-H, rent a burnout

FINALLY! I've been dying for someone to upload a videos of one of these! For those of you not in the know, Ford made a limited run of special high performance Mustangs called the Shelby GT-H. Available through your local Hertz as a rental, this car is more than just a sticker job with actual performance improvements.
...something tells m that burn outs are probably no in the rental agreement, but come on, this is cool.

Wow, you know you spend all day moderating video submissions, this one was fantastic. Great combination of stills, action video and subject matter. Loved the video from the stands showing the wheelie cars flipping.
