Watched this episode on Nat. Geo. the other night.
"Franz", holds a GT500 during it's burnout! lol

Tottttttally useless to us in everyday purposes... but fun to watch!
Unless you want to know how much force is exerted in a burnout...

CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZY

EDIT: WRONG FORUM
But whateves.

 

Wow that was pretty cool.

 

I could do that LOL

 

 

Time for me to get to the gym!

 

Nice, I bet that dude has like 750hp to the sneaker!

 

that was awesome

 

sorry dont believe it. It does not matter how strong HE is, the deciding factor is the coefficient of friction between his shoes and the floor which his body weight decides. His shoes would have lost grip wayyyyy before his strength did. It would have been a slight bit more believable if he was strapped into a rig to remove the traction issue with the floor and only took his strength in consideration

 

Agree, I can have a gt500 stand still by just doing a burning out. Its harder to do with a front wheel car lol.

Firstly he (Franz Müllner) was strapped in around his waist. Second, friction is the last issue to consider before upper body strenght gives out and then the lower body/core. Say if the guy was Hercules, then to hold that car back would be like holding an RC car... their strength matters. Strength in his upper body and core counter friction, until your body has had enough and then fails. Which you'll see he falls forward a bit before wrangled back in by his harness.

These are legit, and have been done plenty of times! Have you never seen a strongman competition on ESPN? The strength these guys poses is incredible!
Plus it's a reputable show, and organization with similar odd feats accomplished. Not like this was done in somebody's backyard...

Here he is again holding back a Diablo

And then here he is squatting a helicopter.... No big deal.

 

ok I did not notice the strap.. But why do you think hes trying to hold back a car while it is doing a burnout? Because its breaking traction and its (by far) the easiest time to hold back the car. Let the car launch on its own and he won't hold it for a split second.. sorry, its simple engineering at play here.. You really have NO idea when the line lock is released on the cars do you?? As soon as it released, the car pulls away no matter how strong he is .. This is TV, remember that..

 

Exactly. Its just not humanly possibly for him to hold back all that torque from the GT500. Not saying the guy isnt strong, just sayin there are definitely some physics tricks here

 

Sweet Post. Now let's see him stop an F-150 by holding the FRONT bumper!

 

O_O...id shat my pants if i tried that

 

Nice, GT500

 

Bet he couldn't do that with a 2011.

 

give me a 10 ft head start. he wont be stop'n S***
