Some say he doesn't have a heart.
Or is that The Stig?

| In Germany, where the video is made, car taxes rise as a vehicle gets older. Generally speaking, its only the wealthier that can afford to own and drive them. So its more likely hes a rich ****! |

UJ - as you might have guessed, this was my thought exactly but I decided not to comment 
On the subject of "classic abuse" - what about those that take part in some of the harder classic rallies, that include forest sections. The damage they inflict on the cars is sometimes much greater than the Chrysler driver is likely to do with a few burn outs.

Got a friend with a 2100cc full race pinto mk 1 escort that will do that anyday and goes faster round the bends just the same
But however there's no denying that the 300 is a fast car.
I used to not like much american cars but I am getting attracted to them as time goes by though I'll never own one for sure due to there dimensions and not much storage space on my side!!! |

Biggest trouble with that is not that the car cant handle, but the guy driving it cant handle the car.
As far as 300´s being fast, I have a gps and stopwatch measured 0-100kmh time for mine now, which will go nicely with the 1/4 mile ET I already have.
I'm not saying that I would drive mine in the same way, but remember that cars are meant to be driven, and have fun with. |

| UJ there must be hope for me yet regarding Mopars...on the same page as this clip there's one of a 1970 Dodge called 'plum crazy' and although I didn't expect to...I liked it! |

Burn out competition returns to the NASC Nats this year I believe.
