Ralph Gilles Schools Jay Leno on Proper Burnout Technique

According to The Detroit Free Press, manufacturers are looking forward to ditching CD players since they are heavy and take up so much valuable real estate. I still have tape decks in two cars of my three cars. My 2007 Mustang GT has a CD changer, but I prefer to just plug my phone into the aux and stream Pandora or Spotify. How about you?

As pointless compilations go, this is right up there with my other favorite: every weird sound Krang ever made in the original TMNT series. This one might be a little more relevant to car enthusiasts, though. Hit the jump for the video! [more]

Ralph Gilles Schools Jay Leno on Proper Burnout Technique

Dodge CEO Ralph Gilles sure does love him some Mopar-powered burnouts: when I first met him on One Lap of America, they seemed like the only thing he ever wanted to do with that white Vanishing Point Challenger of his. So it's kind of fitting that now he's instructing Leno on how to pull off a perfect roast. He also gives a lot of pretty interesting background on the Charger redesign, and even hints that they're "considering" putting a manual in it! Oh God stop teasing us!! Video below the jump, via Jay Leno's Garage.

	By: 66Mope 3/16/2011 3:01 PM Way to go, Ralph. Thanks for keeping it fun.

	By: 74Furyous 3/16/2011 3:37 PM Sure beats some old CEO in a suit spouting off brochure specs. He enjoys his job and it shows. And Leno, for those of us whose car fills many roles rather than a car for every purpose, I like heated and cooled cup holders.

	By: retroman 3/16/2011 9:27 PM C'mon it's the CEO of Dodge, the preferred brand of rednecks everywhere (ie. look no further than the General Lee). He might as well be President of the Redneck Nation. I like a CEO who can lay down some rubber...

	By: cknarf 3/16/2011 11:30 PM "considering" WTF? That should be mandatory.

	By: DodgeAdict 3/17/2011 1:25 PM Ralph Gilles f*ckin rules, as a hardcore Mopar guy all my life (and seeing Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth[RIP]/Jeep through their darkest days) It gives me a smile ear to ear to see an enthusiest take over Dodge and bring the innovatoin and spirit back to the legandary Marque, ALL HAIL THE MASTERS!! Give it up for Ralph Gilles and Jay Leno!!
