Sweet car, my hats off to the driver for allowing the vid to be put on the net. Can't say I would be much better in that car. He can only get better.

i must say that was quite amusing, i wouldn't let the guy out until he calmed down he's a hazard to himself and other people, the way he treats the throttle is like an on/off switch, not good esp. on a rwd car..... *sigh* i miss rwd..............

He should probably reinstall the gas pedal instead of the throttle on/off switch he must have had in that video.

I love the ending:
Stomping and letting off :repeats:
Sh*t loads of understeer
Just mowing down cones

I loved the v8 ROAR

He seemed to do a little better at the end without the gloves...or as I suspect...different driver and he is in the passenger seat.

Definately the craziest driver I've ever seen...punching it at the entrace of turns...and never being decisive with his turning radius...almost like he was trying to throw the backend out and drift?

+1 The cone mowing at the end was a perfect end to that run.

As a former Mustang driver, (both Fox and SN95), I know that those cars just handle like crap and require a lot of dicipline on the throttle. Especially when you're making big power. That car had a 331 stroker NA which is good for about 320rwhp tops. So not as much power as the exhaust would have you believe... unless he was spraying.

All in all a completely horrible and unskilled driver that had no business being behind the wheel.

My thoughts exactly. Better to be good than look good.

It's hard enough to get an autocross site and keep it with safe participants, let alone with some jackass like this. I can forgive the mistake the first time - we all have to learn some how - but the rest of it is inexcusable. I'm hoping this accident-waiting-to-happen was tossed out and barred from returning.
