LOL, 20 over on the street, you might want to step down to the ladies version of the V6 man, that will keep you nice an safe out there.
I will say that Im glad he didnt injure himself or anyone else. I respect the fact that he came to post about it but Im sure he even expected from negative comments. The good comes with the bad. Ill admit Ive done my fair share of stop light driving and speeding but its all relative to the speed limit. Ill never go 20 over on the street. Thats just crazy to go 100 over. The bright side of negative comments is that it adds some kind of hope that someone else wont make the same mistake because it was an action thats frowned upon. You cant really say that if every comment was "Im glad youre ok. Hows the car?"

Lesson learned, and chalk it up to experience. Now, if you do it again, then you're just plain dumb.

Make sure you get Blue Book value, and make sure the V6 has zero mods, you will stay nice and safe that way.
Yeah. Wouldnt want to lose control of my car or anything
We all make mistakes. He has come here and admitted his. Roasting his Azz is not needed. He has done so himself over and over. What we really need to look at is why it happened. First off. have you had the 155 limiter removed from the cars ECU? That could be why it shut down. Never depend on the ABS to save you. Most of the time it will make a high speed event worse.
Now the reason he lost it. When entering a high speed, high G turn under power the weight load of the car is sitting fairly even or slight to the rear of the car. This keeps the contact patch of the tire constant. If you lift you have now transfered the weight to the front tires and unloaded the rears. This causes a serious over steer condition. sometimes called "Loose". Adding brakes just makes the condition that much worse. The best thing you can do is ease off the gas. Never jerk your foot off. Once you have eased off the gas you can apply some brake if needed. Just do it VERY easy with a slow constant pressure. You squeeze the brakes! Never HIT them! The concept is to keep the cars weight balanced. Even to the front and rear.
I run my car at 180+ on a regular basis through long sweeping banked corners. Even with a huge wing and lots of down force, if I lift its all over.
Before anyone flames, The car is a trailer queen and is only run on road coarse race tracks. I am a high speed racing instructor and have been doing it for 20+ years.

I think its incredibly stupid to delete any comments in topics like this. Taking away the bad and leaving the good comments arent making the situation any better and its not going to change anyones opinion on the matter. So what if he gets his feelings hurt. He couldve killed himself and someone else and deserves all of the comments he gets. Having a post deleted for calling someone a ****ing retard isnt near as bad as what couldve been said. Delete this post if you like. Im entitled to my opinion and if its not good enough for this board then ban my ass. I dont care.
Any other thread about street racing would have had lots of harsh remarks, and none of it probably censored. While I know this author is a respected member, there should be favoritism.

I highly recomend open track or (HPDE) track days for everyone. It is a great way to learn what your car can do in a safe enviroement. There should be a track near just about everyone and there should be someone pimpin that track out. Be it NASA, SCCA, SpeedVentures, Redline... Someone is running opentrack near you.
For those that don't know. OpenTrack or (HPDE) is a real race track with corner workers and Fire and safety. Anyone can go and in any car. I have seen them all from VW bugs to full blown formula cars. Groups are aranged by experence and it is very safe. There are rules for passing called Point by. The car you want to pas must see you and actually point which side of the car you are to pass on. He holds his line and you go by. Each experence group has different areas for passing. Beginner is only straights and only with a point by.
A lot of people think its too expensive. The price varys track to track. Even the most expensive ones are less than a nasty speeding ticket. For actual in the seat driving time its a much better deal than 20 -30 passes on a 1/4 mile. We can get 2-5 hours of behind the wheel on the track high speed fun in one day.
I highly recomend it at least once. Careful its very addictive
