    Yes I have seen that Bill, very sad indeed, Torque, road surface, Tires? We will never know the real truth of why the car went sideways, but you can be sure the Right foot had something to do with it. Feel sad for the owner, never nice when its all on youtube, I hope he is covered with his insurance, but if they see the video they may not pay out!

    Meanwhile in the UK this was me leaving Brooklands historic motor circuit

    It's the shift to 2nd that catches most drivers. Relax the left hand and all will be fine.

    Drag racing on a curved road is generally not a good idea.

    Dodge did not build 50 ultra rare GTS R cars. Someone else would have done that using a car that Dodge built as the platform. Anywho, just wondering where the other 49 ended up. The areo mods are all available from Autoform in the USA on the *weak beer* side of the great pond.
