I've even been on some roads (namely the concrete ones up here in the Norhteast) where I've had a trailer hydroplane on me, and a truck do nothing.

And why poor NSX? At least he's out driving the thing instead of sitting home polishing it. Good to see a street car once in a while.

he was being such a jackass in downtown moments before this that honest i dont feel bad for him whatsoever

Turn up the volume. He mashed the throttle.

no that was my car

I heard your car too. You let off at 0:12 and somebody's engine revs up really high at 0:13, just as the NSX loses control.

slideslidegnarslide · 12-27-2012, 11:36 AM

Every one attributing it to hydroplaneing might be wrong. If you listen very closely you hear the Nsx hit the throttle pretty hard then he looses it. I think it just unexpectedly broke traction and the dude froze up and slammed the brakes. Huge mistake.

he absolutely did not hydro plane, he just lost rear traction by trying to gun it and maybe pull away from that "peasant" s14 behind him.

Can't disagree.

If that was in the dry, it woudn't be the same. Plus an NSX doesn't make the torque needed to spin the tires. It's a water related/hydroplane accident. Again, I've been ON TRACK (not on your freeways) with rain worse than this...I know all too well how rain can effect a car without any previous input.

Agreed

mikerbike · 12-29-2012, 06:18 PM

I agree. If it wasn't wet, his tires wouldn't have spun when he punched the throttle.

I knew a guy who had an aunt who watched a video about driving in the rain, so I am also an expert on NSX torque curves.

(Does a turbo SR20 "make the torque needed to spin the tires"?)

Homeboyx · 12-29-2012, 09:54 PM

So.. in CONCLUSION, he was trying to be a douche but his douchieness backfired on him and bit him in the ass. /endthread

dillonbear · 01-03-2013, 04:46 PM

he should have just bought a prerunner if thats what he wanted to do.

few miles from my house, i saw this goon chillin under the bridge on my way down town...lol

KoolAidMan687 · 01-03-2013, 06:00 PM

GPGTCME · 01-23-2013, 08:14 AM

Wow!! That's nuts considering how scarce these cars are becoming nowadays.

Tearlessj · 01-28-2013, 11:32 AM

This may be a stretch.

I'd guess that the NSX driver saw the up coming tunnel and wanted to go through it at a lower gear to try and impress the S14 driver. Looks like he tried to rev match and either too much or too little. That was just enough to make the rear come loose.

When you hear the nsx rev up, it sounds like free revving to me.

randyjordan · 01-28-2013, 07:53 PM

shiiiiieeeet

that pillar had his name on it

iStubz · 01-30-2013, 02:12 AM

hahaha! yah, he should have just hit the pillar instead. It would make it more of a "FAIL"!!!

KoolAidMan687 · 03-20-2013, 02:30 AM

yeah next time ill tell him to hit the pillar

Driftwire · 03-20-2013, 05:46 AM

Thanks for the share Koolaid. Btw whoever said the NSX cant make torque to spin the tires must have never hit the gas in their car....ever

whoever said that must be thinking of an s2000 or thought since the nsx is made from the same company it must have the same characteristics.

probably doesn't even know the nsx's engine is6 cylinders and 3.0/3.2L.

Not to add that in wet conditions.. yea because water adds traction

OutlawLui · 03-20-2013, 02:04 PM

I cant talk shit on this guy...

Its easy to go spinning out like crazy in the rain, with any slight traction brake.

i lost traction once just making a left at a intersection in the rain

, made it out ok.

idahotuner · 03-20-2013, 03:01 PM

haha try hydroplaning at 70 with a chevy pick up

razor787 · 04-02-2013, 06:45 AM

Man he barely missed that thing. my buddy hit one at 60 and walked like nothing happened.
