Ya it does make you sick no matter if you like the car or not. I seen a guy wreck his RX-7 doing a John Force burn out last year, and even though he was showing off , you still hate to see it happen.

There was a guy at my local strip that wrecked his Mach 1 hitting the wall at 35mph... it was fixable of course but he just told his insurance company he did it on private property and they covered it.

Man... brand new car they probably owe $30k+ on, and insurance probably won't cover it. It makes me glad that I A) bought used, B) have paid it off, and C) have a DD. I really feel for that guy.

My old company used to insure two of the major motorsports parks in Florida. People that used to tow their cars off the property and claimed it happened on a DOT road, got caught all the time. I had to give several depositions on behalf of the tracks - it was a pain in the ***.

Yah that whopping 320hp in a 4k lb car can be a handfull..
13.2 is a bit faster than one would expect for stock...likely CAI, Tune and headers.

Slower cars will get squirrelly sometimes. I know of a fellow who had a bolt-on, LS2 Goat that totaled his at Memphis Motorsports and remember seeing another fellow in a New Edge GT get sideways going into 2nd; that was a low 14, high 13 second car.

Looks like the same damage that happened to a buddy of mine's Supra at the track a few years ago. Car was deep in the 10's and a coolant line plug popped off dumping coolant on the track. That plus slicks equaled a totaled Supra... it was scary to watch in person, but he came out just fine. Insurance wouldn't cover it, though...
