This thread is full of hypocrites. I'm sure the same people calling this guy a "********" have also pushed their Z beyond "safe limits". It's really too bad, and I am glad he is ok.

I can say this, i dont serve or smash the breaks down even if i think im gonna die, in those situations i just dont panic every thing seems to be "unreal" and it doesnt reigster im gonan die so i dont really slam breaks.
From personal experience slowing down smooth as possible has the best results. I have slammed breaks before testing, you just spin and slide.
I can say this though im super dangerous in slow speed turning, i have not grasped the real power this car has, this car has a ton of power and when you turning and trying to use all of it, the car will slide all over. Eventualy ill get the hang of it and stop doing it.
Can also say theres this corner going up a hill, it says speed 30MPH its a two corner turn, first you turn left then you turn right, I go through it at 65MPH and attempting to hit 70mph, part of me says im gonna lose traction and slam into the mountain but i dunno it doesnt feel like its loseing grip yet.

It's unfortunate for the owner. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but if you don't know how to drive and try to do things you aren't capable of, then you deserve to learn the hard way. It's good to hear nobody was seriously injured during this expensive driving lesson.

Considering I'm a professional grade driver and push my Z to it's limits on a frequent basis (and my Z is still in one piece), I have plenty of ground to stand on calling the driver a noob.
