Goodmorning.

*cringe* DISCLAIMER: Just like 'all'of us overhere I'm a car/petrol guy since I was a kid, but this video shows so many embarrasing AND dangerous moments ( and two hands full of very very nice super/hypercars imo )

Many guys in the video think they are Franz Hermann. They certainly are not

Cheers
Robin

I'd love to say that I'm innocent of any of this type of behavior, but the truth is that I've made some of these mistakes myself. Youth, stupidity, excitement, or all of the above. Thankfully I made it out alive, and never had any accidents, but it certainly could have gone another way many times. Those days are long gone though, and the average car wasn't nearly as powerful as it is these days.

You must not be familiar with sideshows here in America. It's where everyone with single digit IQ meets to run each other over in their cars.

While it was an era of less powerful cars you still buy a ~1200kg 330 bhp RWD 911 turbo with no traction control, no stability control or even ABS.
With heavy rear weight bias, turbo lag and low grip tyres it wasn't a car to take liberties with.

It just needs some application, and an older person with self control can easily control the urge and need to WOT these supercars.

Cars with names like "Widowmaker."

Luckily, I was too young to afford such cars, and growing up surrounded by affordable Japanese sports cars, the 911's don't even appeal to me.
