I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or serious....but just out of curiousity have you ever driven a car with 350 at the wheels? While that doesn't sound like much, it's MORE than enough for autox...especially when you consider that the typical autox suspension setup actually takes away grip from the rear end to allow the rear end to swing around and be more maneuverable...if you had a true autox suspension with too much power plus a driver who's over anxious, then you get exactly what you see in that video...a guy who spins out a lot and hits trees
300hp at the wheels is enough to rip the tires loose in 1st through 3rd in a typical street car. Depending on how his suspension is set up, and then combined with all that other stuff, plus who knows what kind of tires he's running (even if they're sticky they might have been hot and greasy).
