He will get a GT3 front spoiler to replace the damage front.

LMAO. What's with the bog off the launch? Did he let off really quick?

That bog/maneuver is actually what caused him to spin and crash.. A clean launch will catapult the vehicle in a 10-15 foot roll out before giving full power.

It's soooooooo hard today to do stupid stuff in private. Cell phones and social media everywhere. Great time to get the aero-kit front bumper, or go GT3 front bumper.

I can honestly and confidently say....no, not a chance that it would be me.

I save it for the track or autocross!

Definitely turned of PSM. He clearly could have jabbed the brake at the end and stopped. He wasn't going very fast when he hit the guardrail. Looks like the unexpected happened and he just froze.

Luckily I had 5 years of muscle car ownership in high school to learn these lessons.....god love cheap RWD horsepower (and even cheaper steel rims and high wall tires to replace)
