A fun way to void the warranty on that 2015 Mustang...

why would you do that? seems like it would just wear out the tires for no reason and it doesn't look like it makes the car go any faster

Like they say in the video..... in case the driver wants to take the car to the track.

If you're running drag radials it's common procedure to heat them up. This is how you do it.

Obviously, if you're at the track then your insurance company won't pay for your abuse to the car either.

Not necessarily true. I looked into insurance policies specifically for track days since the Z is my DD. The coverage varies depending on the skill level you run and how much $$$ you want to spend.

"Line Lock is essentially the Mustang GT's mating call, the way it shows dominance over other, lesser pony cars."
