I saw a higher-quality vid of the same over a month ago. It kinda looked like he started breaking loose while downshifting but I didn't understand any of the Japanese spoken (by the driver; that video had more follow-up with comments from the driver) so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I got the same vid from Evolutionm. You could tell something was wrong after that cruching noice. But to walk away from something like that gotta be a good feeling.

I heard his tire or tires gave out. I believe one of the tires popped though causing the crash.

I dunno what the driver was thinking but he was downshifting to get the car to a stop. It still looked pretty stable when he was slowing down then all of a sudden, tires broke loose during the downshift and now he is airborne. :roll: If the brakes were used, there's a chance the car may have been saved.

I think this was the same driver that also owns Option Video Japan that crashed this 1000whp Skyline from 0-60 foot and headed into a guardrail. I think that was the battle of Skylines from 0-1000 meters. :o

Really?? Why would they make a dual manifold car have a single turbo?
