I'd say he had a lack of grip rather than extra.

no, he had some pretty good grip. with a lack of grip in the back he would just spin out.

That's because you're looking at the wrong end of the car.

Id equate it to being similar to a gp bike washing out the front tire mid corner.

What are you initial d *** asses talking about.

The dude almost spun... found a point he could start putting throttle in...

And ******* pulled it off.

There aint no alien space craft witchery going on... he fucked up, then pulled it off.

THE END.

I love this post.

Of course he is running toyo proxies...it a ******* toyo car.

and saying "between 245-275" is like saying "hey bro my dad is between 4 and 7 feet tall"

my chairforce friend in japan says they usually use smaller 235/255 on a technical short track such as nikko and bigger 265/275 on higher speed tracks such as autopolis to utilize the whole rpm range. the rears of course. most run 17/18 stagger

Which is why I felt the need to make the post. Because it pretty much could have been answered by just watching the video, and it was still asked. And I think 205-275 is a better comparison to "4 and 7" feet tall bro.

i'm not going to lie, when i see the interior shot, it definately looks like he's scrambling a little. i think he may have saved a massive fuckup.
