The fix for me is to turn off the aids every time I jump in the car with the exception of rain, at least until I get tires that aren’t death traps. I’ve never had problems for n the rain although I’ve run nothing but ultra high performance romance tires since 1996. The car I got came with some 600tw trash.

As for the LFA in the video it seems cut and dry to me that it snapped on a shift. Listen closely. I don’t think he was trying to drift. Probably had the aids off and didn’t expect it to snap and overreacted.
I agree. Youtube is filled with these things. Too much torque, the tires lose grip, car drifts, inexperienced driver overreacts and trouble ensues, unless there is plenty of space. I mean if the BRZ with a measly 151 torque can spin, imagine double that or even more torque. Recipe for disaster with inexperienced drivers.
