I didn't say that you cant break lug nuts/studs off. I just stated my experience.
It takes 150,000 psi to break a 9/16 grade 8 stud. so it would take roughly 1,200,000 psi of force to sheer all eight. Again not saying its not possible it just not easy.
I didn't mean any disrespect with the flinging poo comment, just a joke, im sorry if i offended you.
And tell me what about the dragster scenario is a little bit out there?
The studs on a top fuel car are not grade 8 i know. they are arp/s2000 studs. which have a shear strength of 220,000 psi. and yes there are only 5 most of the time. sometimes 6. Fill me in if you dont mind?
