Wow. Bad job. Really bad job. It doesn't even make sense how he could completely lose it so quickly at low speed. If he knew anything about his car that could have been avoided. Unbelievable

those of us with FDs know that when the roads are slick after a rain it doesn't take nearly ANY power to kick the rear end out. FDs don't really have the low end torque so you kind have to get on it before you want to have the power come on and it looks like before he was even half way through the turn he was already on it and by the time he was almost straight he spooled and that's what caused the skid.

^^^That is what happened. The quick spooling twin turbo system caught him.

But you would think this particular FD owner would be aware of that and compensate properly

i don't know...I don't like to judge people but with a fortune body kit...I'd bet the guy just has too much money, picked up the 7 cause it was cool and then wanted to show off to the other rich exotic guys without really having good solid experience with the FD in ALL weather conditions

I try to be slow to judge as well, but i guess it's different when ones naive pretension starts to put others lives in danger

The whole thing is just an unfortunate situation. And I also kind of agree the body kit is hideous anyway

rubberbands for tires and that wide definitely doesn't help forward traction.

You can see a front tire in post #31. They look to be street tires with full tread.

Nope, you're not. But in my opinion everything about that car reeks of approval seeking desperation

i don't find a problem with it, but of course you should know how to drive a 4 wheel vehicle first.

even the crowd wants to see more than a line of supercars idling by at 5mph.

Agreed, but I doubt the crowd wants to be run down and murdered either
