Respect the power. A lot of people think AWD is invincible.. proof even with modern day systems, it's not. There's plenty of vids of typhoons eating it too from a dig.

If you play full screen, you'll see he rashes his rear on the outside wall. Aside from the tire wear.. he's still going to pay for it.

I'm surprised he didn't pull tire. I wouldn't be surprised if it did an inch or two.

Another non-ESP victim:



Serious note.. Seems like the inside of the right track has a lot more rubber laid down. I doubt all these pulls to the right are a coincidence.

That guy annoys me. He talks too much.

Love the car though, even without the bodywork.
