>In high school in the '80s (in our parents' cars, of course!) we called
those "atomic drops". I never fried a tranny (at least not until I got my
own car) but I always figured the name must be really fitting!
In highschool (last year) my friends and I referred to them as neutral
bombs. Sound fitting? My friend actually killed the tranny in a Ford (I
won't go into my dislike for Fords now) Pinto. I have never done this, and
never see a need to. My 3.1L V6 Beretta will spin the tires just fine, that
is off idle (I don't know how well it would do it if I brake torqued it).
Just my two pennies.
