Some people don’t have a but gyro. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you don’t have a but gyro. True Statement!! If he has one it is not connected to his graphic display , so he wasn't paying attention to it.

I don't feel like piling on- now He f'd up, it happens and it's going to be a very expensive fix. Keep track of that one when it goes for sale with a "clean" Carfax. Car fax is a joke. Accidents have to be submitted, otherwise, they don’t get recorded.

I like the butt gyro comment, I've never heard that one before. Very true. Everybody screws up, so I'm not going to dogpile on the guy. But it does look to me like when the car first started moving right he overcorrected to the left, turning the steering wheel almost a quarter turn. Less than half that amount of movement would have probably kept him going straight down the track. But still I agree with the others, that run was over. He never should have got back in it.

The graph shows that he completely let off the throttle then stabbed it. The car was already loose and in between all this he counter steered twice and hit the brakes. Bad driver decisions. Its like I didn't lose it that time I'll try again. Just because you can write the check and talk the talk....doesn't mean you can walk the walk.

One thing to consider is steering feel. Most modern cars have electric P/S and they have little feedback. So even if your butt dyno is well calibrated, if you can't feel where the tires are going it can be hard to correct. LX guys are welcome to bash me about how good their steering feel is. or not. Both my Challengers had very good feel/feedback. However, they were the hardest cars to launch of anything I ever owned, and mine didn't have 800 horsepower. My SRT-8 would get loose in 3rd gear easily. I never tried to be a hero though.

I agree ^. This guy feels bad enough. One thing for certain, you don't crash a car sitting in your easy chair typing on the internet.

You guys did notice he drives a Ford truck. He is simply driving the Demon as he would a Mustang, crashing into everything. Ford owners shouldn't drive Mopars... Um, no, he's driving a Ram. He also has a 1000hp Hellcat Charger. He's set a few records with the Demon. So he actually owns zero Fords. But carry on. https://youtu.be/5xII1u-cYgQ
