need better tires bro, coulda saved a perfectly good car.

rear "stanced" also negates *** end traction, leading to potential issues like this. though good for drift, if you are prepared for it.

not a lot of sympathy from me for speeding through populated areas with homes, got what he deserved imo.

No doubt, his tires were squeeling with slight steering input.

Bad tires or not, I was surprised he didn't spun out earlier with those misplaced shifting moments and abrupt throttle actions.

He was just bringing the car out of balance, an accident waiting to happen.

Im wondering what all the people who live there think about people who drive like that along there; on the limits of traction, blind corners with driveways.
**** him, that is karma. Lucky he didnt kill someones mum.
