Im sure you know how lucky you were to live but was anyone else hurt since you were on the interstate?

This might be a good example for the younger folk getting Z's now but for most of us its common sense to keep racing on the track.

I don't agree with that. Your right he could do it again, but he did take a pretty good hit so maybe he learned. We were all young and dumb at some point, like the old timer said above he had raced and so had his friends but they don't anymore so they learned so maybe there is hope for this kid. With that said, good luck op, and hope you learned your lesson.

All I will say is be glad you are alright and no one else was hurt or killed. I hope you have learned your lesson and have a little more respect for this 2nd chance you have at life. Thanks for serving our country and best of luck to you.

That's one of the worst Z wrecks I've seen. Good job on owning up to it, take this as a lesson and move on.

Looks like your passenger rear tires is bald, so you had this coming.

Glad you are ok.

This is why the 350 is one of the most expensive cars to insure.

people don't realize that not all tires can handle the heat that going so fast creates.

if you had excessive toe or camber in the rear it makes it even worse. not to mention worn tires.


keep your tires in good shape, and inspect the car often if you plan on doing those speeds.

This guy serves for your country. Respect his apology for him making a mistake and owning up to it like a man.

except those were brand new, he was just running too much toe or camber.

this guy apparently had basically bald tires.

I've owned 20 some odd cars. The 350 is 2x any of the others because they are sought after by our younger generations and things like this happen - it's very common. On the other hand, but sister vehicle made by Infiniti - the G35 - is in the 10 least expensive cars to insure.

QFT to help future street racers after acquiring their new toy Z:

Good thing is, im back on full duty in the marine corps and leave for afghanistan in december. Thanks and I hope this gets out to at least one person still racing on the streets to never do it or end up like a carless *** clown like me.
