Losing it at 220mph

in a 996 Twin. Bet his butthole was puckered up...

Yeah. Probably choked him a bit.

Uhm yeah, sunroof popping open at over 200 is bad, see?

That dude is genuinely funny. did the right thing with the steering wheel too.

I wonder how fast he was moving when he hit the grass? Sure did stop fast.

That guy needs a new camera mount.

Looks like the back end stepped out when he started to slow down by downshifting.

Good thing there was nothing to "buff right out"

and a good thing he did this in a controlled area, not on the freeway...

Wonder what his bill was for cutting the weeds?

$120 for a new pair of boxers and trousers.

And definitely good work with those hands. When in doubt, both feet out. Holding the wheel strait will rarely make your situation worse.

I'm glad to see that "losing it" wasn't really losing it.

I've got a friend who runs outlaw class 7 second Mustangs. He twice got airborne and rolled at over 200mph.

He walked away. Thank you space frame technology.

All I can say is that I have never spun at over 200mph.

Of course, I have never been over 200mph either.

says in the comments that he didn't downshift. He says whey you see him reaching down he is deploying the shoot, not downshifting fyi.

Umm....He needs a 'chute because Porsche Turbos have such weak brakes, right?

That is a FAST motherf'er.

The chute is probably what stopped him rolling, it dragged the rear back behind the car

I hear NASCAR is going to mandate chutes for the COT to help land it when it gets airborne.

Wouldn't have helped last sunday.

yea hard for a chute to be deployed when traveling backwards...

Unless they go the route that Cirrus did with their aircraft, Ballistic recovery chute for the win!

The current mount was designed by Catherine Hepburn.

Just damn man.

Lokked like the car got rely smothe just before the spin. Perhaps it got airborne?

It rotated like it was riding on ice. Scary to watch.

Time to check the sphincter valve for sure. And yes, I noticed how smooth it got before sliding. I do have to say, seeing as my Business Partner is a pilot.. I have yet to land on a runway that was perfectly smooth
