If they had the right type of extinguisher that car wouldn't have gotten roasted...

Gas Fire + Water = Fail
Gas Fire + Halon or C02 Extinguisher = Success

Zo6 is my brother, he only crashed it because he was on the phone, otherwise he is honestly a better then average driver.

The M5 video I do agree, the driver sucks ass... the camera guy is a GREAT driver though.

if he was a better driver he wouldnt be acting an ass while on the phone. being a good driver means knowing your limits not exceeding them and recovering luckily.

Godzilla is a fitting name for the GT-R

Love the sound of the LFA though.

Awd. Instant hook up with the rubber. Nice.

I wonder what the outcome would be if they did the same race but put drags on the LFA. See if it doesn't even it out.
