W211 E55
It looked like the front washed out.
Brakes a bit earlier may have given him enough weight transfer forward to actually steer the thing.
Well, that...or Jangy's Patented Rear-to-Front Rim Mod
I like how he hit the volume button and the stereo kicked on - that's why you turn down the volume before spirited driving. Imagine entering a corner a 9/10ths, right on the edge of adhesion, and you accidentally un-mute the thing into some Crystal Method at about 97dB....
Thanks, J for the vid.

He simply ran out of talent before he ran out of road - that's all.

that guy is one of the reasons why I stopped riding my R6 on the streets. You never know who's going to be in your lane as youre coming around a corner.

I pass on two lane roads all the time, I just wait for that little dotted line thing. When I was a teenager into my early twenties I drove more like that moron, but that does not mean it wasn't reckless. Probably how I flipped a car when I was 23 - that calms you down a bit. Sliding upside down for 325 feet gives you surprising clarity!
BTW - I'd like a ride in the cigarette, pls...

It's not the passing, though he did pass on a blind bend, but the fact he understeered his way onto the wrong side of the road on numerous occasions before totally losing control and crashing.

Yikes! This guy should seriously take some hi-perf. driving classes. The roads are full of guys who think they are much better drivers than they actually are.

Stupid... Endangering others is not cool. Showing off is one thing, but doing it with no regard for others is plain dumb. Obviously having money doesn't always mean having brains. He is proof of that.

He was really driving like a jerk......passing across solid yellow, speeding beyond the car's handling capabilities, and braking waay too late.
Some cars can be driven like that on windy roads, but I wouldn't even take my E39 M5 on that road like that. You brake, downshift, speed through the turn, then accelerate. This guy was just accelerating and steering.
Jerk.
