Locking wheel nuts

What about the instant torque? It affects the design of many elements of the wheel including the specific tires they use and Ford, let's face it, don't have anything in the same range (power yes, instant? not so much).

The difference with Ford is also drivedrain ‘shock value’. Sidestepping a clutch on a RWD at 5,000 RPM with 450 NA and 600 and up blown HP introduces a tremendous amount of driveline stress. Multiply that with sticky rubber. It’s the weakest link that fails first and common ones in independent rears include U-joints, CV joints and halfshafts. Even cracking the pumpkin.
