Shitty cell phone vid, best we could do at 4am...anyway, when I jack the wheel to throw the car around it just dies. Had the car 3yrs never whipped it around so I cant say it never happened before. In the second vid you can see I had to pedal it through while it was whipping around in order to keep it running.

I have a 3gear vid too, just waiting for my bud to e-mail it to me

how much gas was in the tank? may have starved the fuel pump.

and thanks for using the car for it's capabilities. same reason i put a turbo on a 93 cobra. omg, i didn't put a blanket on it and store it for 10 years.

HA! I'm sure that's what Ford was thinking when they designed the car... "how can I make this thing do bad a$$ donuts"


I do agree though...I think you starved the fuel pumps

I thought of that, had at least 1/4- 1/3 of a tank - guess it's possible that I starved it.

No kidding huh?...why the hell would anyone care what I do to my car. 03's aren't endangered species...lol...to be honest thats the first time I've ever done that....god for bid I post the vids I have of power shifting, some of these guys might need therapy after seeing that.

You have got to be kidding me. So you don't have any mods done to your car? Sig must be wrong.

You're an idiot. You don't DESERVE to drive an 03.. You should be driving rice if your going to do that.. EITHER WAY, it's probably your fuel pumps like everyone else said.
Just my .02!

when you whip it fast like that, the car gets rolling backwards at the end of the donut u did, u can see it in the vid... when the car rolls backwards in a FORWARD GEAR without a clutch engaged, the car will stall man...its like letting the clutch out at a light without giving it any gas...its gunna stall...if you pull the car out of gear (neutral) or just put the clutch in after your final spin before u start rolling backwards, then the car aint gonna stall...

No, the tires were spinning plenty hard, it didn't bog at all, shut off like I turned the key off, just dead -used to beat the living piss out of my fox with major whip, practically roll over territory and it never once did that

I don't really see what the big deal is, 90% of the guys on this forum beat the piss out of their cars when they race, same thing to me:shrug:

I was referring to Suaveflooder's comment about how Ford didn't design their cars to be driven hard.
