Talk about needing to turn the boost down, WTF are these guys thinking?

Even a boost controller that can control boost for each gear.... Either way they have one poor driver behind the wheel. I've seen local guys with the same problem keep it under control. Hell even when Parish was getting squiggly back when he could still hold his foot in it.

Wow none of you all have driven anything fast have you? Its not that easy to just PEDDLE it and keep it straight. He was trying to keep it going even to just get a MPH out of it. AMS has the worlds fastest EVO and they are trying to make it even faster..
988AWHP with NO nitrous is ******* impressive. It takes alot to get it hooked up, and its going to take some time. By all means that doesnt mean the guy can't drive. Driving fast cars require lots of work. I can keep my steering wheel straight and go towards the center line, and if I try to correct it the car does nothing. If I tried to peddle it the car will shock the tires again.. I have a nitrous car yes, but a Turbo car will do the EXACT same thing. If I'm going for a time Ill have to hope I find the groove or Ill abort the run which is what he ended up doing.

I don't think you guys understand the part about a "skakedown run". I'd like to see any of you, or myself, try and do well in that car the first time at the track. I think my pass would look about the same. I'm also not entirely sure that was the normal driver for that car.
