18-06-07, 17:42 GMT+10#21 it's strange how people are bitching about a burnout wen six people died.. including 3 young girls that had their whole life ahead of them.
i feel sorry for them ant their family's.

18-06-07, 18:34 GMT+10#22 That video reminds of the DVD's 2Fast2Real altho 'illegal' drag racing it shows stupidly powerful cars on the roads with flocks of people around.
I agree with King-3l organisers should of thought twice before putting a car with that much power on the road.

I've seen that too. Full 8 - 9 second street cars racing side by side with people everywhere.

ive seen videos of cars stall it up and do skids whilst going forwards....
why did this car suddenly not go straight? the driver shouldve known how to control the thing....
comparing this car to a street car would be like comparing an F1 (going at 150-200km) car when it crashes into something and the driver survives, to a new age car and the driver still ends up dying even though they were going like 80km ;p

This was an accident waiting to happen, they said it was a safe event but on the video you can see a guy standing on the road as the car skates by him. Its a big accident no doubt, and a real tragedy too.
This comment "As if we needed proof, this is it, that burnouts and associated driving styles can indeed be very very dangerous" makes it sound like we are talking about a guy doing stupid sh*t in his street car on a suburban street though - which I dont agree with
