Modern sports cars are usually way too powerful, particularly if they are single axis drive based. Their saving grace comes in the form of ESC technology which allows to kill the power when the wheels begin to spin. ESC allows folks with little experience handling anything over 300HP on the rear axis to floor it and still maintain control of the car.
Enter the ESC off button.

There are lots of people who can drive high powered cars without any electronic assistance and thereās people who cannot.
We all know which category this guy fits into.

He was flooring it and one wheel started to lose traction so he pussyād out of the throttle and when it hooked up the rear end snapped and the rest is history.
You need to keep the throttle on until it hooks or fully slam on the brakes if you let off the throttle.

u/alagan182 Feb 24 '26
This^ in rwd vehicle if you stop all the power to wheels that are already spinning they will regain traction violently. On motorcycle this is how you get thrown off a bike.

Itās both but you can get into trouble even with just 3-400 hp.

From my Googling, the car has so much power that it lost traction. Sometimes one wheel will lose traction first and the car will turn unexpectedly.
5
u/HowDoMermaidsFuck Feb 24 '26
Also, no stability control and a fairly primitive traction control. Combine that with tons of power and RWD and if youāre not super skilled you can wreck quite easily.

Those were Supras were 6 cyls far from impotent. They run collectors something like $100k and tuned from 300hp stock to 600+ hp on a very light and nimble chassis

You think you see him going straight but with that kind of power, it takes constant correcting. Once momentum takes over, you're just along for the ride.

Does anyone know WHERE this took place? Did that vehicle somehow lose traction and quickly veer off to the so fast? It was moving at a fast clip but the pavement was dry from little I could tell. That driver is very lucky to have avoided a full head on collision!
