My bet is that they messed with the brakes.

Set it up with no rear, allowing them to lock the fronts. You'd have to have snapped it hard (ie dump the clutch),real hard, to keep it that still.

I had a 440 that could, but that was 600+hp, fiberglass tires, 4.11 gears, and no traction control. Remeber once went over to my cousins, stopped at the stop sign a house or two away, 4k+ dump the clutch, spent about a minute feathering the throttle through the intersection. Neighbors wern't happy, but the one thought it was great.

Had a friend in HS messed with his brakes, one time oopsed and when he released the fronts overrevved his 440. Back then 6k wasn't redline, it was point of explosion, and well it did.
