why? because he got on it on the street? if you are on this site and your car is street driven then you have gotten on it and if you say you havent then you are flat lying. yours may not have slid sideways like that because it didnt have 600+rwhp. we all make stupid mistakes (not condoning driving like this BTW) his just happened to be caught on camera for all to see.
If you don't know for certain that you have the skills to handle a 600+rwhp car then you should not be attempting to do burnouts on public roads at crowded intersections. Plain and simple. Take it to a track or a secluded area to learn how to drive it!

but from the looks of its almost like that was the first time hes ever punched it with that much power on tap. i mean i have had times on the street where the car got sideways and it would scare the **** out of me and i'll cruise the rest of the time. and after that incident ive been alot more careful with my driving. but as i was saying it was as if he slapped on a bunch of **** took it on the road for a test drive and he couldn't handle the power. you cannot be careless with power, as your power increases you have to be even more careful where you use it or how you use it. hopefully everyone came out ok. sucks for the car but a car can be replaced a life can't.
half the people on here are god damn hypocrites...
people make mistakes, and sometimes the car takes control. I've gotten sideways before and had no chance to recover from hitting a wet spot that i couldnt see. Thankfully i didnt have any traffic.. or curbs for that matter. All of you that say hes an idiot for doing it on the street are completely calling the kettle black. You own one of these cars, mod it, and drive it on the street... you know damn well you have done something similar(minus the wreck for some). I'm not saying its right but laughing at the guy and calling him a moron is just foolish. Reflect on yourselves a little more and pray karma isnt a reality.
I feel bad for the guy, and I'm sure he feels even worse.

OH NO MY SPIDER SENSE IS GOING CRAZY"
In all seriousness though, to the people saying that bashers are being too critical, I think there's a big difference between getting on it at 3 in the morning with empty streets than getting on it at a crowded intersection and plowing into a few cars. The reason most people are giving him **** is because he blatantly putt the lives of others at risk. It's not like he couldn't see the traffic on the opposite side of the road. I mean I'm sure he didn't think he'd be hopping curbs but to do dumb **** with people in the vicinity is just plain ******* stupid. Yes doing it at 3 in the morning with no one around is just as wrong as doing it in broad daylight with other vehicles nearby. Yes it's just as wrong... but it is NOT just as dangerous. If you want to be a dumbass be a dumbass the **** away from anybody else. We've all gotten heavy on the throttle before and while I'm not trying to justify breaking the law, I would think most people here have better judgement than that assclown.
