Told you man... Its a bear to get use to. Especialy if you havnt driven higher HP cars too often. Stay out of the gas until you do your alignment. One, you are less likely to die. Two, your tires will be bald in a mater of days with a bad alignment. My tires went from 98% tread to 8% in a mater of 8 days.

Get an alignment so it will stick man. That and so you dont kill your self.

just to throw in my 2 cents, glad your ok, but you have to respect what you have under the hood. and if you have high hp, you have to be able to stick it to the ground(wide rims and good tires) and you have to be able to stop it(brembo's maybe). and the alignment is also important, you wanna go straight when you punch it right? but the important thing is that you are ok!

Glad you okay! I dont' have as much rwhp as you guys but just with the amount I have my suspension has been acting up also. I had to get an alignment to, seems my front suspension was making all kinds of noises as soon as I added horsepower, never heard or felt it before the install. Got, firestone to aligned it, and check it out, they said the bushings etc. was fine. I still went to another shop (Island wheel and alignment) for second opinion. They found nothing, but I still hear little squeaks and cracks....maybe its getting old....

i forgot to mention that the cars alignment got messed up after the freeway slide action. but i will deffiently not really see ANY high boost until i get new tires. at work theres a set of Nitto NT555 thats just laying around that fit the z front and back. i was like i gotta have them. so my manager said once more extra wheels get thrown in there the tires are mines!
