Save the display of your Mad Driving Skills for the track

[Damn True]

Why you ask?

Because you don't want to wind up like this moron.

Wow! That's incredibly smart to do in front of a traffic cop too.

[Damn True]

We've a limitless supply of stupid. Too bad it can't be used as a source of energy.

[Blown73]

Oh wow. That made me laugh.

You know those times when someone does something stupid, and you always think to yourself "its going to catch up with him". Yep, that's one of those times where it caught up!

Sometimes even the track isnt safe from tree collisions:

I love the comments heard on the camera... "What a jerk!" "This is why we get kicked out of these venues" and it always ends with "Yeah I got the whole thing on tape" lol

That does not look like a good place to setup a course.

[The Stickman]

That does not look like a good place to setup a course.

I thought the same thing when I first saw it. Not even sure I would run on a course set up at a place like that.

[Six_Shooter]

I agree, I looked at all of the tress and thought, that it was a bad idea from the start.

[Damn True]

That looks like a couple of dudes set something up themselves. I can't imagine an organized auto-x org setting up a course like that. If they did, I sure as hell wouldn't run it.

[Tony_SS]

I was bracing myself to see a head on collision with one of those trees... yikes.

No course workers or timing equipment in sight.

I would love to have access to a lot big enough to set up my own test-n-tune course on. Even with those trees, a good course designer can keep it pretty safe if they know what they're doing... which that guy apparently did not.

just a typical cruise night with idiots showing off because of the crowds. Here in LA theres cops at every exit.

edit: nevermind I thought you meant the original video

[Gitter Dun]

Just when you thought you were done shaking your head and saying, "Unbelievable...."

[JEFFTATE]

To the GTO ,
He is only guilty of giving the car too much throttle when he had the front wheels turned ..
I've done it with the Z06 .
It's easy to make a mistake with a car with a lot of torque .

In response to the original post , it is safest to keep your foot out of it on the street ..
If you have a 100 hp car that will not spin the tires , the situation is different , but with a 500hp/500ftlb , car it can lose traction easily.
I've been told time and time again to only give a lot of throttle when the steering wheel is straight ahead.
It's especially true with a lot of torque.

[Scott Parkhurst]

I hate to say this, but I LOVE videos like this. Call it a guilty pleasure or whatever. As long as no people get seriously hurt, I could watch them all day.


...and there's no way I'd ever auto-x through that tree-infested lot. That's just asking for trouble- especially after he spun out once and showed he didn't really have a handle on it.

..and Cobra driver was obviously overmatched from the start. Way too much car/too little experience driving it. Oh- and could that lift-off hardtop be any uglier?

[shmoov69]

The GTO.....I can't throw stones!! LOL
The Mustang....the guys are total idiots for doing that in THAT lot!
The Cobra....If she wasn't hurt BEFORE the wreck.......! But in all reality, the car owner that allowed that deserved that! LOL!

Talk about embarrassing.

Showing off in your muscle car, is like a girl flashing her boobs. Once you've seen it, there's no mystery.

Go slow, stay legal, stay in one piece. It's way cooler!
Plus; How bad would you feel, if you lost it, and accidently hit some young kid, who was admiring your car, on the side of the road?

[Tony_SS]

^ exactly, that would have been horrible had a family been sitting in that grass.. THAT is why you don't drive like an idiot on the street.

That guy had to be drunk..

[JonsGottaDusta]

I couldn't agree more. Being a young adult, I find myself wanting to screw around on the street sometimes. The time my friend attempted to do a fish-tail at the u-turn by my house in his Roush mustang, sealed the deal for me. He is a sponsored road racer, but for some reason the car got grip half way through and shot the car straight towards a concrete retaining wall. Screwed up the body kit, wheel and one Nitto tire. I about had a heart attack. I save being real stupid for the track.

Awesome!!! Another junkyard LS2 available! :lmao:

I already asked to buy it a few days ago. Lol...

"What just happened? Did I pop the tires?"

No, you can't handle the power of the truck, is what happened.

[absintheisfun]

What I don't get, is if you follow the link the author is slamming on Americans:
could happen:
Now, before everybody starts laughing at the Americans, and making comments along the lines of 'they can't handle three pedals'

so, please tell me this embarrassing dbag hasn't made headlines outside of the states??? It's bad enough it made it out of Texas!

Pistonheads is a UK site. Internationally famous asshattery from the poncho guy.

Those are the people who keep f'n up cars and coffee here in Houston. I think they're the reason they've been having trouble re-hosting it downtown.

How do that many people crash on the same day in the same damn spot? That almost hurts my brain.

[Damn True]

Years and years ago when Jeff Smith was editor of Chevy High Performance they did a comedic comparison of Mustang owners vs Camaro owners. I recall laughing heartily and finding much of the analysis startlingly true.

[shmoov69]

I remember that, it was pretty funny. But I showed it to one of my Mustang friends and he asked me "what is that? CHP? A comic book?" DooH!!

Anybody have it?

[Damn True]

I know I don't. It was a cartoon type illustration.

[Scott Parkhurst]

LOVE that Mustang vid! I laughed the whole way through.

Why does this kind of stupidity entertain me so? Maybe I can see me doing something like that a few years ago, or I'm still tempted to do it now?

I like Asian chicks too and haven't figured that out yet either.

Go figure?

[vanzuuk1]

Anyone have a vid of Asian chicks doing burnouts in mustangs,if so this is the time..

[MrQuick]

sorry, just tried a search on "asian chicks doing burnouts in Mustangs" with very disturbing results. And here I thought Donkey shows were a myth???

[Gitter Dun]

Are you sure you didn't type "asian chicks doing mustangs"?

[vanzuuk1]

Be careful with that, when I bought my five speed I googled " tranny swap", that was a mistake.

[ronin8451]

We get asshat young punks doing the same thing in Mustangs and Ricers in our town. Daddy buys his senior boy a Ruststain...Mustang for graduation and immediately thinks it's the fastest car in town . I get them lining up against my '71 Chevelle all the time , but I don't show them the taillights even though I could. One idiot tried to get a known street racer buddy of mine to race him in his new Cobra ( search Youtube for Ronnie Pace, he has a low 8 second whipple-charged 632BBC Nova) !

I would like to see it. I have always had V8 cars from the time I was 16. Same with my brother, my parents raised us right and I had a healthy amount of respect for them and I always drove with restraint. I can remember driving around on a weekend night going to the movies or whatever in my LS1 Z28 and every Mustang in a 10 mile radius would try to race me or rev their engine at me. I never engaged anybody. I can only think of one time where somebody in a Trans Am did the same, but it was a heads/cam car with bigs/littles on it and I rolled down the window and told him he wasn't fooling anybody. I am not making sweeping statements about Mustang guys, but there certainly was a trend.

I've seen just as many morons pull the same stunts in F-bodies as mustangs....and trucks and imports and mini vans etc.! Less than impressive driving displays are not limited to any particular make!
