Message	If you put slicks on a car and launch, the momentum of the engine and flywheel instantly tries to stop as soon as those slicks grip and it tries to move the car from a dead stop. That's why you see most cars break at launch and not 30 feet down the track where their peak torque kicks in. Even Hondas break parts when they put sticky tires on, and those cars only have 100 lbs of torque and run 15's. It's all about momentum, inertia, and instantaneous torque loads.
