Loss of Control

**TransAm11973** · 09-02-2009, 03:48 PM

I was sitting at a traffic light on my way home from work. At the intersecting road there was a guy in a red GTO turning right. His dumbass floors it and tries to turn onto the road I am on from a stop. You could see the ass end kicking and kicking to the left so he tires to correct to straighten out the car but he over corrects and spins the whole car around and hits the median. So now this DB is facing the wrong way on the road, haha it was great, truly great. A classic move haha. I have seen so many videos like that but to see it in person was priceless. Even after all that he proceeds to floor it to get back facing the correct direction on the street..........Hoping its an LS1 member and he sees this post!! Hahaha

An LSx powered car is nothing to take lightly, let alone a V8. I have heard of kids getting GTOs after dealing with 4 cyl FWD cars and "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE"...it's all over. I have been to car shows where GM V8 folks talk about kids with LSx cars and and wrecking them. I mean, some of these older folks don't take LSx destruction lightly.

I see it all the time, it's called high schoolers

guy in a gayed out (window louvers,giant ass duck tail etc.) '05+ stang almost took me out when he decided to hang it out when he crossed the median. I ran his ass down and he got skurred. Started running stop signs and shit, a real good example of a safe driver. And it was an automatic. How hard can controlling 300 pounds of torque with a slush box be? I have 330 in a light pickup literally right off idle

seriously, a GTO has to be the easiest car to ever control.......ever..........that thing is easy to maintain in burnouts, our f-bodies actually are a lot harder to control...f-bods are great for easy doughnuts and 180's.........in a GTO i can go side to side all day.

Then he should have known better. Reminds me of the GTO show I went to last year. Guy did a burnout, fishtailed, and hit a limo on the highway. Then he took off. He came back later after being chased by a cop who also went to the show but was off duty. Chased the GTO down in his vette. Man, I was disgusted.

Haha that was me pretty much. I went from a 96 S-10 blazer, bought when I was 15, sold it when I was 16 and right when I turned 17 I bought my TA. I am 21 now, never wreked it, one speeding ticket when I was 20 but I cant lie I never lost control but came pretty damn colse a few times, as I am sure most of us have. I cant say the guy is a bad driver as much as he is a full on dumb ass with little to no common sense.
