And if the guardrail wasn't there... i would of went over the crub and down a lil ditch.... stupid guardrail!!!!
This is dry pavement too. Listen to the throttle, just before the spin. On a wet road, it takes much less throttle to induce a spin.

To be fair, the guy that was driving my Z in the vid was used to a 170hp MX-5 on race rubber, not a 300hp 350Z on street tires.
What he was doing might have worked in his car, but there was no way it was going to work in mine.

OEM TIRES SUCK IN THE RAIN.
I had the same thing happen to me and another Z driving north on I-95 Rain came down doing 60 mph we both spun out and went in an enbankment less than 100 yrds from each other. Both cars had oem tires and where PPW.. i gotta pic but cant attach it.

the roads were wet
+ OEM tires not good in the rain (once again not the cars fault, you can change them or adjust your driving)
+powerful RWD car
+unprepared driver
=chance of wreck.
Another one of those "hey I wrecked my Z but it totally wasn't my fault!!!! Zomg I gave it some gas while it was raining and the TCS and VDS didn't kick in!!! The stock tires must suck ***!!!!"
I'm expecting people on some other 350z forum coming over and defending this guy, just like that that last wrecked nismo thread.
Jackass, learn how to drive and man up to you mistakes, or like Hraes says, "just admit you're a teen so you have an excuse"

I crashed my Nismo too on friday night, problems with traction control i think. i was going about 40 minls on the ramp when it slipped off the road and hit the midien pavement. My front suspention all came out and the real one bend out, rims were broken in parts. i dont know what's up with this cars.

all i say is driver error...
yesterday was raining here, i was on the highway at 70, and downshifted into 4th and gave it gas... it did get lose on me, but with experience and throttle control, it was nothing to keep it going straight...
Still.... it is sad to see these cars crashed, but everyone knows it was going to happen...
hope everyone is ok, its just a car... a very nice car, but still a car...
to the kids... i have bought every car i have owned, no parental help... but if your parents are that nice, i would like some donations for a gt-r... lol
