It wasn't the mad power causing the car to step out sideways. It was a combination of him being on the throttle and the suspension being so stiff that when he hit that bump it caused the whole car to skip sideways and break traction.

I do think some of them looks pretty cool, but they can only look that cool being static. If they can look like that while keeping the full functionality of a proper suspension, then I would be impress.

Those cars can keep the functionality of the suspension if they raise it up with their airbags, but then they look like ***.

I don't think that's true... My understanding is that there is an awful lot of fraudulent claims about accidents there, so they have dash cams to have recorded proof of what went down. Also, I think the frequency of accidents has something to do with the quality of roads and how cold and icy it always is.

It's hard to imagine their drivers being any worse than the ones we have here.

I've got to agree with this. Most of those cars look horrible.

Flush looks great but "hellaflush" looks horrible and dangerous. Hope this trend fades quickly. Wonder if cops are cracking down on it.

Hellaflush setups look so wierd..... I guess their practicality is diminished greatly.

On a side note, i had a good time laughing at that black subcompact that was trying to squeeze through the median and the wreckage at the end. It's like i could hear him saying "Oh god, an accident!.... Excuse me.. You dont mind if i squeeeeeeze in? Ok thanks"
