Well, at least you came out in relatively one piece! Cant say that about the Z, but glad youre not in pieces strewn along the street!

Yep, I agree, if it would have hit at a different angle the outcome wouldn't have been good. Not that this outcome is good but it's only a car. And I always knew in the back of my mind that it could happen. No matter how careful you try to be.

Dude sorry for your loss and glad you are okay! Man that is some scary stuff.

Thanks man. What's scary is when it happens so fast you don't have time to react, even though I tried. And you can see what you're about to hit and all you can do is yell "oh ****"

I have had that happen at the track a couple of times and it is just like you described...the back end brakes loose and you are looking the other way and all you can do is hold on. I guess that is why I don't drive mine much on the street anymore or at least when it was running lol.

I scared the chit out of me and the guy behind me one time. The rear snapped around coming out of a corner, and I was eyeball to eyeball with the guy behind me. Did a 180 and was looking at the guy. His eyeballs was as big as mine.

I kept it on the track some how.

Yup. I always have to remind myself to respect the car. It isn’t the full pulls that get you. The scariest times in my car are when I’m just cruising, say in third, doing 30-35mph and I apply 3/4 throttle. Turbo spools up and car gets all kind of sloppy, even though you aren’t really beating on it.

That was me on the Tail of the Dragon 2 years ago. I pulled one out my butt and saved it. I thought I was a gonner.

I wish I would have had your skill (luck).

Let me ask you this. Did you counter steer into the slide and the car snap back
the other direction? IF so, it was the dang Yaw sensor. There is a video of this on my YouTube channel (Spooler). It is around the 6 min mark. It is the one with the Oops. Yes, I got it on video.

What a snap hook and what causes it? Im gonna get an alignment soon. I was taking the curve from the 405 South to the 605N interchange, and it felt a little skiddish.

Not sure. I of course have had the car get loose before but this just snapped left. If I didn't know better I would say that something broke but I don't know how or what that would have been.
