And I thought I drove my car hard. WOW, thats impressive abuse. I love to see other people going off in their car, but I could never be that rough on mine. Did the guy get out on the right hand side? Must be overseas.

Thanks for the video!

So that is why the rear tires on the NSX only last 10k miles.

You get 10K on yours? How do you do it? I only get 3K on mine...

man...I really hate to be the stickler here...but that was cool why?

There are alot of online clips like this popping up lately and after the first revolution and spin I wonder why they keep doing this? Does it take alot of control or something? I mean really...am I missing the clinch here? Sorry...didn't meant to throw a negative spin (no pun intended) on the post.

I guess if you're not careful, something like <a href="http://www.cae.wisc.edu/~wooda/pix/upatree.asf">this</a> could happen.

That was cool! Post some more!

I found the driver's ability to keep the car on this relatively narrow strip of pavement while doing repetative doughnuts in both directions to be fairly impressive. If you watch closely you'll notice that the back tires come within a foot or two of the pavements edge without ever slipping off. I give the guy a thumbs up for car control!

Uhh... unless I missed something, he only went clockwise.

Does anybody here drive their car this way? I would never even consider this type of abuse.

I love people that do this stuff. It helps keep me busy during the day at work.

You mean if you're not careful, you'd end up owning a Vette?? You're right, that would bite

Has anyone else tried this in the nsx. It is actually kind of hard to do. The car ends up doing oval donuts. Does the vette have a 50/50 weight distribution? It would seem that it would be easier in a car where the engine is in the front.

 

[O-Ace]

I believe the Vette is actually 48/52 on the weight distribution, and yes, this is extremely easy to do in a Vette. Guess how I burned my last set of tires

Isn't this really bad for the wheel's bearings too ?

I'll suppose not.
The load on the tranny, bearings, diff, driveshaft are maximum at the moment the tires loose grip.

Making dougnuts with an NSX like he did is difficult.

I don't think it's abuse. It's fun!
Try it, and you know why....
