Don't know if it's been posted, but wanted to share. It's a JUN 350Z doing over 200mph, but crashed at about 150. Pretty amazing the driver walked out okay.

anything that makes the s2k sound like that? (in terms of exhaust)

jeezus. im sorry, someone please teach that guy how to drive. when you have a tire come apart, the last thing you do is downshift like your on a race track. jeesuz. way to make the ass end loose. this is why everyone should have drag raced at some point, or at least watched. then they would maybe have a clue as to what to do when a tire disintegrates at high speed, if anything, stay on the gas, and slow down gradually. that just makes me shake my head.

Yes -- install a V6. Other than that, no. Exhaust note is primarily determined by engine configuration (I4, V6, I6, H6, etc.).

That guy's presumably a factory driver with way more seat time than anyone on this thread. I imagine there was some reason why he felt engine braking was appropriate -- an approaching turn, perhaps?

That aside -- you watch a guy go out there and drive over 300 km/h, then miraculously survive a 250 km/h rollover, and your reaction is to trash his driving skills? Classy. I'm sure he lies awake at night wishing he drove as well as S2oooNvegas on s2ki.com.

Actually, that guy is the founder of Option magazine in Japan and has driven more race cars faster than anyone you ever heard of. He is one of the best drivers in the world. Have you never seen an Option Video?

Yeah, He must be a real amateur

Based on the speedometer in the corner, I estimated that he was going 330 Km/h or 205 MPH. Obviously he suffered some type of mechanical failure. He must have lost a differential or something similar. He lost control going straight, something must have locked up. IIRC, that car had some serious mods. Can anybody understand Japanese, I would like to know what he said in the post crash interview.

Probably said, next time we do this race, we're getting a Porsche 911.

You'd think they'd have the common courtesy to speak English...
