is the bungee myth true?
On another forum some 1 posted that if you wrap a 10 foot bungee cord around a drive shaft clockwise that it would give you a better launch. is this true or is it total bull?

Re: is the bungee myth true?
using tension to launch a car.... its been done on toy cars.... basically its a practical theory and you can store extra energy that way but with a bungee cord? HELL NO! Kids these days...
