It was dyno'd at 785. NOT 1400whp or whatever. Regardless that still way too much power to be taking U turns at highway speeds in the wet.

I dont think you can do a U-turn at 65mph in a tight road like where this happened at, just sayin, even though he didnt really make the u-turn (lulz kinda a joke) I doubt he did a 65mph entry from what I heard he was just sitting there and made it.

Cuz you could take a bend at any speed you want in a FWD and keep control while having no skill.

Ok. The guy that owned that supra is apart of Ptunings crew.

All he was doing was driving roughly 35 which is the speed limit on coastal supposedly, and he was simply switching lanes. He wasn't the one being yelled at to do burn outs and what not, there were OTHER supra's there. He switched lanes, hydroplaned, fished tailed, tried to correct it and just lost control and spun out. Nothing ricer, no racing, just driving. The guy is a pretty decent driver, but even the best have their days. Unfortunately it resulted in this.

Saying he shouldn't be driving such a high HP car on these roads is ridiculous. Hydroplaning in a stock s2000 or high hp car is nothing different when you can't get traction. It's not like he floored the car while he was spinning. Who does that.

That VW thread is full of fail.

Everyone has NO clue what happened and just assumed because of what the car is and the HP it has means he was driving improperly. That simple mistake could've happened to anyone.
