I agree the guy cant drive.. He should know that at that speed, you just let out of the gas right quick and that weight transfers to the front, that rear gets EXTREMELY light and of course its gona spin around.. I was thinking that was what the chutes are for, to help stabilize the back of the car when braking.. Guess not though.

2 of my friends are there running their cars, KB GT500 and a Blown CTS-V, 2003 body style.. He just did 169.7mph.

EDIT: The blown CTS is a daily driven car too.. Mid to high 400hp car I think.

The guy walked away from the wreck, he went to the hospital as a precaution. You can read more in the Texas section. Under Texas mile updates

Wow its funny to hear people talk about Exotics like they know WTF they are talking about.

The Superlegerra is a special edition Gallardo. Its like a Corvette Z06. The Superlegerra is lighter, has different seats, different Aero, and slightly more HP than the standard Gallardo. You can get the Superlegerra with either the E-gear or the Manual. The current Superlegerra is a little different though. The one in the video is a 2008.
