wth were they goin so fast in traffic like that? puttin yourself in harms way is one thing, but they could have killed anyone else on the road pullin **** like that. idk if it were me and someone else put bus lengths on me id let out.. same goes for if im ahead and pulling... on a side note it looked scary as hell.

Why the **** were they staying in it so long? Especially in traffic. Did he lock up the brakes I assume?

Parts List needed after spin out:

1. Front bumper - from hitting cone
2. New front seat due to large amount of poopy smear


I would have lost all bowel control spinning out at that speed!! but that is just me

Looks like that Chrysler that pulled over after you spun out wanted to make sure the police knew what was going on..

^ Ya, that pole would of made for a bad day.

That's definitely the definition of a butt pucker. I'm surprised how calm and slow the spin out seemed for how fast he was probably going, I've done the EXACT same thing going 130 and it seemed a lot more violent and I spun more than 540*. The F-bodies stay planted damn good, looks like the Y-bodies even better.

Just plain retarded to be flying around traffic at night like that. And ABS or not, if you can't keep your car from swapping by braking in a straight line maybe you should be driving a prius.

Agreed 100%! Driver aids like ABS are there to ASSIST the driver, not do the damned job for him!! Noob drivers in high powered cars give us all a bad name.

I always like responses to videos like this because it shows everyone is a professional driver except whoever gets recorded.

Yeah even with some of us people being "decent" drivers somethings are out of your control. Those are called variables. Granted if I make a run, I never go through traffic like that. Always shut down before we get close to cars in front of us. But luckily he didn't kill anyone or kill himself. Everyone knows the risk involved in this section. Don't be a hypocrite saying you would have done better in that situation then he could have... Not defending him for driving like that, that was his prerogative to do so.

With that even I have had a few close calls myself. As I am sure a lot of you did as well in one instant or another.
