Here's the video:
http://www.alldumb.com/item/12273/
The guy was doing about 320 KPH when his rear tire started to go flat. He started to downshift and slowed the car to somewhere around 210-220 KPH, but by then the tire started to shread. The rear cuts lose (he doesnt turn the wheel, it essentially gets yanked from him) he does off the road . . . blah blah blah.
Japanese translation of the interview with the driver -
Int) how do you feel?
Driver) I am stiff, I have a stiff back and legs, but I'm alright.

Man, what a fu**ed up Z. Looks like the driver and passenger were able to walk away, though.

snap - your right nicolaycastro, that is a different Z. It was so mangled, that I just saw the color and said "I've seen that before".
Still a good vid though . . .

Your Z looks sweet man!! I like it. IS that picture photoshoped or is it just the angle, but your front tires look like their 18 inch and the rears look like big ole 20's.

That's a pretty generic multipiece forged rim style (nice wheels though)...
Could be iForged, BCForged, Symbolics, HRE, etc.

that option Z had custom michellin tires that they had to sign a insurance waiver on because they hadn't been tested at high speed

I do not think that Z would look nearly as bad if it had its Front Bumper Absorber in place!!!!
It is something that is removed that is there for a reason and should not be removed!
This is removed with Most Intercooler Kits (Greddy) and also for alot of aftermarket Front Bumpers... I cut my new front bumper so this part would fit... The body shop took it off I told them I am not taking the car until they cut the bumper to fit over this...
Rather then this beam absorbing the impact then going to the front of the frame... the Fibercomposite radiator support (weak), Intercooler, and Engine is all that is in the way of you and the engine being jammed into your face...
Its Number 9 in this image... The Support Beam
