BRZ owner loses control (Cars&Coffee Meet)

Found this today, sadly one of the twins endured a crash when he fishtailed into a light pole making a left turn when he tried to showoff leaving a Cars & Coffee meet. The irony is that it happend right after a Mustang left the place without incident.

By the sounds it seems like he lifted which put it side ways so he decided to throw power at it which wasn’t going to help at that point. Looks like it’s wet out. Hard to tell when viewing on my phone.

This almost happened to me back when I had my FRS. It was my first rwd vehicle and I thought I was Chris Harris in it. One early morning, on my way to work, I decided it was a good idea to turn off all the nannies and gun it through a turn before the tires got up to temperature. Lets just say I turned around and went home to change my underwear. Luckily, I just missed the curb by a few inches.

Best mod for 350 WHP? Sell car and buy Oder 400hp Corvette.

At 350whp, 400+ engine HP Engine work should be done, Clutch, Trandmission is on the edge.

Forced induction is needed so cold air intake is not applicable.

`But everybody knows the car needs at least 300HP to even be drivable `

hope his/her insurance see the video - otherwise the "a puppy came out of nowhere..." story will reign.
