WHy are people making the "seat time" comment? What about the driving leads you to make that conclusion? Just curious?

:)

The car has a claimed 600+rhwp and is on street tyres.

Trust me when I tell you 600+rwhp and street tyres (even sticky street tyres) is just a recipe for fighting oversteer on the way out and understeer on the way through corners.

Evern super-duper brakes cant help you when you pull out to over take and find your street tyres cant slow you down ;)

I would not be so quick to critique the driver, as I would the mix of too little tyre for too much power :)

And 640 rwhp is allot of power.

It is true that that car would be difficult to handle, and extremely difficult to drive on street tires, however he misses quite a few apexes and pushes real wide a lot. If he was used to the car he'd have a better idea of the braking capabilities of the car and would most likely brake earlier. Just the way the car pushes through the corners quite sloppily makes it seem like hes an ameteur, or has a lack of experience in that car.

My point was that a car with enough power and overwhelmed tyres can be made to push on demand. Think of the times you mighy have put the car into the marbles on outside of a bend and notice how it is well, like driving on marbles ;)

The same goes for braking, the tyres woudl just lock up if you really squeezed the stopper real hard.

I am wanting to blame the Invo's first and the XM radio second, that distracting chick 3rd and finally the driver ;)

Maybe he didn't knew the track very well, simple as that. But he looks like the type of driver who can only go fast in the straight.

But it's easy to watch the video and critisize the driver....640rwhp turbo is some serious power.

It's not the power, so much as its the lack of grip.

I guess it would better on semi slicks or slick tires and less weight better suspension and brakes.

Not really, it pretty much behaves the way all those SUpra and Skylin trailer queens do when they get tp the road course ;)

One was at the Dunnville Autodrome on Sunday (MKIV Supra), the guy lost his power steering and continued pushing the car hard. He should've taken that as a hint that his car was getting way too hot because the next lap his radiator exploded lmao (cracked in half). He either wasn't paying attention or has too much money. It was a really nice looking car though, and shot some nasty 3ft flames when he downshifted.
