Crash Supras on Public Roads

[RenRed2]

So street race with his buddy and has zero capability to drive such a car. Shite training and no respect for the power he has and the other drivers around him he could easily injure. Asshat and buddy should never drive again. Not just Mustang owners LOL

Oh the kids today... Lol modern traction control is great, but there was a time before traction control, you got to be in control of your car.

Do we actually know this was a traction control off issue or are we just making assumptions?

TC is a great thing on this car. The way the B58 delivers power, with a shit load of torque at 1600 RPM and onwards, she can bite you in the ass real quick. In the old days peak torque would come on much later and would gradually feed in, making it much easier to catch and control a slide. The B58 just comes in like a hammer. I'm at stock power, and even then it easily overpowers the rear tires and you can get the rear in a slide with TC on.
When these dumbasses mod and tune their cars, and turn the nannies off, it's not a matter of if, but when this happens.

they were driving single file on an on-ramp (this was the car before, you also see a glimpse of the car behind)

Theres the *Full* video. So you speculators can have a new viewpoint.

You could totally do that in the supra with traction control on. the car has a crazy snap and if he had mods and a tune very easy to get that car to react like that.

Under estimating the torque?!?

Perhaps trying to show off for the bridge C&C spectators?!?

Someone certainly loves the sound of their cracking and popping exhaust.

Cardinal rules in a modified Supra if you’re a newb driver:

- don’t take traction control off until tires are warm
- don’t wot the car at low speeds with tc off if tires are not warm

There’s a lot of speculation in this thread, yet no one seems to know for sure what brand and weight of oil was in use. Until we know that, it’s all just a guessing game what happened here.

What you witnessed is yet another moment of Toyota and BMW getting in an argument about who actually developed the car. Magna Steyr was the camera car.

Then the Subaru came in and stated "We learned from our mistakes of working with Toyota" and stopped the argument.

Driver over corrected by a mile as soon as the rear stepped left. Looks like he stayed on the throttle until car was completely sideways.

yep he did stayed on the throttle. shouldve let off the gas, counter steer then give it gas to perform a perfect drift. what a scrub

 

[ApexTheory]

Looks to me like they gave it too much throttle over the cambered crest of this onramp. Left tires hooked first and that's all she wrote. I could see this car doing so even with TC on (especially above stock power).

Edit: just noticed the crowd on the bridge...oof
