It looks similar to the old FAST video, but not identical. Maybe it is another one. I believe Mike is from SoCal. He posted another video link to another car, but he also had a couple of this car.

Yep, its one of the FAST test beds.
This is one of the F.A.S.T. video's. I downloaded it a long time ago when I had my 84. I would watch it over and over and send it out to my buddies. I even kept a picture of the underhood shot on my computer from around April 2002. Good video.

I remember my Dad telling me some guys "back in the day" used to remove or disable the rear brake shoes to make it even easier. I guess that was basically the economy version of a line lock. Don't think that all of the smoke that you're seeing is necessarily from the tires either.

That reminds me of another internet classic, the laughing-gas fed late model Firebird on a lonely two-lane in corn country whose pilot thinks he's doing a burn-out - when in fact he's completely destroying his stock clutch. The engine roars, the rear wheels sit still, and the smoke billows. He figures it out - but not before going too far, and winding up getting towed home.
