It's scary to think this guy is an experienced driver and he still lost it. These cars are being sold to some people that literally don't know how to handle this kind of HP. Even the Prowler will get away from you if you don't handle the throttle correctly in a turn. See the video below as an example. I have seen this happen. In fact it actually happened to me but I knew enough to immediately let off the throttle, corrected the slide and I continued on my way without incident. Be careful out there.

Not the first time this has happened!

R. Smith totaled the very first Saturn prototype.

A Purdue grad, VP of Powertrain, totaled a one off twin turbo vette called the blue devil.

Yet another totaled a one off 'Vehicle of the Future' pick up truck.

And, this guys dad totaled an experimental some time back.

Yep, nepotism is still alive and well within the NEW GM.

These guys think they are Mario Andretti....
