Sorry to hear about the car, but they are built to be driven, sadly this is something that we have to risk if we want to enjoy them to the fullest.

I am glad you're okay. After my accident it took me 3 months to get behind the wheel of a car and about a year to get back into spirited driving. Snap-oversteer still scares the crap out of me.

Glad you're ok.

You should look into buying the car back and selling it to someone on here. Would be nice to see someone part it out to help others rebuild their theft recovery with genuine ITR parts. Make some good come out of such a bad situation, you know?

Good luck with everything.

That same situation nearly got the best of me on several occasions, most of them early in ownership and just not knowing that this car could oversteer THAT much. If you really loved driving your car, you'll get back in that (or some other) Recaro within a couple weeks. Guaranteed.

Going at, or close to, triple digits on the streets greatly increases the risk. Leave that stuff for the track.

I'm just glad this guy didn't manage to take out the other car on the road, and possibly KILL a mom, dad, son, daughter......

Glad someone said it. Don't be an idiot on the street, period.


Also, if the insurance company finds out that car doesn't have an anti-lock braking system on it, you can probably kiss your claim goodbye.

First and foremost glad you are okay... cars are just cars when it really comes down to it. Regarding driving on public roads... no matter how much oversteer your car has, you should never be traveling at a speed where you put yourself in a situation where lift throttle oversteer can cause an issue. My condolences on losing the car - the only place I could accept losing my car without deep regret is losing it on the track.
