That said, I love to watch vids of R&T, C&D, and MT drivers whipping cars sideways around corners. It looks like a blast. I also know that I have not the experience nor access to the places where I can get that experience safely and inexpensively. So I don't try it on public roads. I know enough that things happen before you know it's happening.

What they don't show is when the wad them up.

Like a few years ago at Laguna Seca when they roasted the brakes on a 370Z and stuffed it into the wall at 100mph just before the corkscrew.

Yes. If both keys are in the car it defaults to the red key.

700HP isn't surprising anybody! You know what you're getting before you buy it! This guy don't need another one!

All I have to add....

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I'm man enough to admit that car scares me. I don't have enough experience driving performance cars to even think about buying one. I know you only live once, but I still feel like these cars are meant to be appreciated and taken seriously. If it's too much power for you then stay away until you're ready.

paulik87 · 12-26-2014, 12:02 AM

Definitely. It's like those idiots who get lambos and vettes and floor it halfway through a turn and fish tail into the medians....lmfao.

Know when enough is enough !

Having pointing straight ahead when you hammer it helps

If you plan on 10/10ths cornering it may be the wrong car

BTW I would love to have one

With any car I think that you need to spend some time behind the wheel and understand the car before you start pushing it, I think he was past his skill set, and did not respect the car.
