Default Pretty freaking cool!

How is this for car control. I know it is on the street so there is no need to comment on how dangerous this is; I know. It's still pretty cool.

That dude better apply to be an instructor at any High Performance Driving school. His application would be accepted on the spot based on video above!

Great burnout!

The school comment reminded me of the time long ago when I went to a certain Pursuit Driving School and bested all of the instructors. True story!

Probably 12 "civilians" NOT impressed and calling the authorities to band the Cars and coffee. Then we wonder why our hobby is threatened.

Oh here we go. I'm sure about 200 civilians were hooting and hollering that it was really cool. Listen to the video at all the cheers.

Like I stated before, I wouldn't do this with potentially putting the public at risk but it is still pretty cool. Just watch the video for what it is, entertainment. We don't need more comments on how dangerous this is. We all know.

Huh? Who's the bad guy here? The burnout guy or the civilians sitting in traffic?

My "hobby" is all about building and driving a faster, more excellent machine. The time for big stupid smokey burnouts was when I was 16 in the high school parking lot. Been there, done that, don't need to repeat. It's nice this guy did it for me, saves me needing to.

I mean I don't care, he wasn't going to hurt anyone, even if he f'd up and tagged another car, it'd just be stupid, not especially dangerous. But that level of confidence in one's own invincibility goes away around 25.

Now if someone did that in the staging lanes and then ended in the first beam, I'd be seriously impressed.

That's what gets you nowadays. The cell call from the pedestrians.

It would be pretty cool if the road ahead was clear, it wasn't.

With the wheel speed he was carrying it could have been

a bad day in an instant.

Dick move.

Even when you ask people not to comment on how dangerous it is, they are stupid enough to still comment. I don't condone this, but we need to respect what the OP ask.

Respect? How is the driver of this car respecting others around him by
pulling this stunt on a crowded street?

Empty street......go for it.
